[O] Fwd: Org mode latex export with "Letter" Class

[Mohamed Zaki]

Hi

I am trying to export an org file to latex using the org-mode version 9.1.2. The input file structure is:

#+LaTeX_CLASS: LTR

* letter{}

.

.<some text here>

.

\closing{Thank you,} 

Unfortunately, the compilation fails to generate the proper tex file

The body of the tex file is missing. The output tex file is:

\documentclass{letter}

...

\begin{document}

\begin{letter}

letter\{\}

\end{document}

It seems that the exporter does not recognize the letter environment.

I use auctex-11.89.5 and the .emacs file includes the following lines

(require 'ox-latex)

(with-eval-after-load 'ox-latex

(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes '("LTR" "\\documentclass{letter}" ("\\begin{letter}" "\\end{letter}" "\\begin{letter}" "\\end{letter}"))))

I've been using an older version of org-mode 7.x for many years and never had this problem. But i understand that the export code has changed.

I appreciate your help
