Have a look a the various letter classes for LaTeX
http://ctan.org/topic/letter
For German (and maybe other European) formal letters, I recommend dinbrief
and/or the scrletter from koma-script.

Using one of the letter document classes, I'd first create a LaTeX
document "by hand" and then decide whether to create my own custom document
class or just add configuration in the preamble.

There is also the possibility of advanced configuration of LaTeX generation
using the "template" config setting and a custom template replacing
docutils/writers/latex2e/default.tex
