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"?
