Here's a first approximation using the built-in latex letter class:
o Add the following to some appropriate initialization file:
(require 'ox-latex)
(setq simple-letter-class
'("letter"
"\\documentclass[11pt]{letter}"))
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes simple-letter-class t)
o Then export the following:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+LATEX_CLASS: letter
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
#+BIND: org-latex-title-command nil
#+LATEX_HEADER: \signature{York}
#+LATEX: \begin{letter}{}
Hi Flora,
Blah, blah!
#+LATEX: \closing{Regards,}
#+LATEX: \end{letter}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
