Hello,

Based on your work, I've put up the attached back-end:
org-koma-letter.el.

Quoting its documentation:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
This library implements a KOMA Scrlttr2 back-end, derived from the
LaTeX one.

Depending on the desired output format, three commands are provided for
export: `org-koma-letter-export-as-latex' (temporary buffer),
`org-koma-letter-export-to-latex' ("tex" file) and
`org-koma-letter-export-to-pdf' ("pdf" file).

On top of buffer keywords supported by `e-latex' back-end (see
`org-e-latex-options-alist'), this back-end introduces the following
keywords: "CLOSING" (see `org-koma-letter-closing'), "FROM_ADDRESS" (see
`org-koma-letter-from-address'), "LCO" (see
`org-koma-letter-class-option-file'), "OPENING" (see
`org-koma-letter-opening'), "PHONE_NUMBER" (see
`org-koma-letter-phone-number'), "SIGNATURE" (see
`org-koma-letter-signature') and "TO_ADDRESS".

You will need to add an appropriate association in `org-e-latex-classes'
in order to use the KOMA Scrlttr2 class.  For example, you can use the
following code:

  (add-to-list 'org-e-latex-classes
               '("my-letter"
                 "\\documentclass\[%
  DIV=14,
  fontsize=12pt,
  parskip=half,
  subject=titled,
  backaddress=false,
  fromalign=left,
  fromemail=true,
  fromphone=true\]\{scrlttr2\}
  \[DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
  \[PACKAGES]
  \[EXTRA]"
                 ("\\section\{%s\}" . "\\section*\{%s\}")
                 ("\\subsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsection*\{%s\}")
                 ("\\subsubsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsubsection*\{%s\}")))

Then, in your Org document, be sure to require the proper class with :

   #+LATEX_CLASS: my-letter

In this back-end, headlines are ignored during export.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


You can test it on the following Org document:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TITLE: About Org and letters
#+AUTHOR: Nicolas Goaziou

#+TO_ADDRESS: Someone \\
#+TO_ADDRESS: in some town

#+SIGNATURE: ngz

#+LATEX_CLASS: my-letter

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It's far from being complete. See it as a proof of concept. Feel free to
upgrade it.
