Hi Wolfgang,

Take the following minimal example
\usemodule[letter]
\setupletter [sender] [name={Mike Meiers}, address={Mustergasse 12\\25694 Musterstadt}]
\setupletter [address] [name={Hans Hansen}, address={Zielweg 34\\78561 Tiny Town}]
\starttext
\startletter [opening={Dear Hans,}]
letter text
\stopletter
\stoptext
You need a closing ("Sincerely,") and signature, and don't forget enough topspace to accommodate a company logo/letterhead :-) FWIW: Here is the basic structure of my setup (based on someone else's work, I forget his name): ================= \protect %\setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuplayout[header=.5in, topspace=1.37in, backspace=1.5in, footer=0mm, %header=0in, %,width=middle, width=middle, lines=60, height=middle] % margins etc. \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \long\def\addresser#1{\leavevmode\blank[1*line] \lbox{#1}} % Defines field for receiver's address and places it at right position. \long\def\addressee#1{\rbox{#1}} % Subject line, in bold face. \long\def\lettersubject#1{\blank[2*line]{\BF %Re: #1}} \long\def\letteropening#1{\blank[line]#1} % opening... \definestartstop [letter] [before={\blank[line]\setupwhitespace[medium]}, after={}] \long\def\letterclosing#1#2{\vbox{\blank[line]#1\blank[3*line]#2}} % and the closing formula \unprotect ================= Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
