LaTeX formal letter: signature align left

Question

For the life of me, I can't seem to figure out how to fix this signature. Right now, it is right-hand justified, and I want to make it left-hand justified. I am still pretty green when it comes to LaTeX and formatting documents in it. It is probably something really simple.

Right now, I suspect the "\raggedright" command will have something to do with it. Just not sure exactly where.

\documentclass[10pt,stdletter,dateno]{newlfm}
\usepackage{kpfonts, sans}
\usepackage{url}

\title{title}

\widowpenalty=1000
\clubpenalty=1000

\newlfmP{headermarginskip=20pt}
\newlfmP{sigsize=50pt}
\newlfmP{dateskipafter=20pt}
\newlfmP{addrfromphone}
\newlfmP{addrfromemail}
\PhrPhone{Phone}
\PhrEmail{Email}

\namefrom{First \ Last}
\addrfrom{%
    \today\\[10pt]
Who from \\
Street \\
City, State
}
\phonefrom{(123) 456-7890}
\emailfrom{[email protected]}
\addrto{%
Division\\
Organization\\
Street\\
City, State}


\greetto{To Whom It May Concern,}
\closeline{Sincerely,}
\begin{document}
\begin{newlfm}

*Letter content*

\end{newlfm}
\end{document}

Bonus points if you know how to get rid of the black bars at the top and bottom, or reduce the header so that it is not taking up a huge amount of room.

Answer 1

Ugh... there's really no need to set any kind of letter using the letter or newlfm document class. As you have now come to notice, adjustments are not always all that easy. So I present an alternative, by just setting a letter as-is in the article document class:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[margin=0.5in]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum}% Just for this example
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}% No paragraph indent
\pagestyle{empty}% No page headers/footers
\begin{document}

\hfill
\begin{tabular}{l@{}}
  \today\\[10pt]
  Who from \\
  Street \\
  City, State \\
  Phone: (123) 456-7890 \\
  Email: [email protected]
\end{tabular}

\bigskip% or \vspace{20pt}

\begin{tabular}{@{}l}
  Division\\
  Organization\\
  Street\\
  City, State
\end{tabular}

\bigskip

To whom it may concern,

\bigskip

\lipsum[1]

\bigskip

Sincerely,

\bigskip\bigskip\bigskip

First~Last

\end{document}

In my opinion, the code is far more readable than using the letter or newlfm interface where some of the document content is scattered in the preamble and inside the document. Moreover, the newlfm.cls is void of any proper coding indentation, making debugging a painstaking task.

The geometry package is used to adjust the spacing in terms of the page layout.
