It looks like a professional letter, while everything I found in the web
rathers proves that programmers are not designers, even with a tool like
LaTeX at hand.

Thanks for the tips, but I don't have time for that at the moment and
was rather hoping that somebody already did the work and likes to share.
Of course this is not a LaTeX list, but it would be OK too to just have a
nice LaTeX template and write with AucTeX, even if Org mode is not used
(yet).

Yes, part of KOMA (?), but thats rather low level if you have to design
your own letters - and who knows all that stuff about professional letter
design?. I tried that once and the result was ugly, there is a lot of
extra work necesary to make it look fancy and modern.
