How can one create such a letter using the LaTeX Memoir class.

In other words, using the Letter class the canon is:

\documentclass{letter}

    \signature{Your name}
    \address{Street \\ City \\ Country}
    \begin{document}

        \begin{letter}{Company name \\ Street\\ City\\ Country}
        \opening{Dear Sir or Madam:}

        \dots

        \closing{Yours Faithfully,}
        \ps{P.S. Here goes your ps.}
        \encl{Enclosures.}

    \end{letter}

\end{document}

How would one achieve similar or the same formatting using the Memoir class?

Thank you & cheers.

Probably not the answer you are seeking, but the Memoir manual is great-- I would consult it first.

It doesn't appear that Memoir is set up for a letter class out of the box. You might want to consider using scrlttr2 in the KOMA-Script package. Here is an example of its use.
