I wanted it to be a letter in all aspects, except that it doesn't have the "from
address" and "to address" in the header. More specifically, I want my letter
looks like:

  Hi Flora,

  Blah blah blah!

The problem is, it seems to me that to export to pdf, LaTeX export is the only
way to go. But then you would have to choose a document class. Obviously you
can't use "article", nor "book". So my question may probably rephrase as: which
latex document class do you use to export the letter "as is"?

Thanks,

York
