Sample letter layout, replacement for NTG brief style

Sample letter layout, replacement for NTG brief style

[Frank]

I currently use the Dutch NTG letter style with LaTeX, which I would 
like to replace with a ConTeXt based system. Even though LaTeX works 
fine, I think that I can better spend my time on learning ConTeXt as 
this will not limit me so much in future projects.

So I was wondering if any ConTeXt users have already created a layout 
file to write letters, with the appropriate placement of the Address, 
logo's, folding stripes, etc.. If not than I would like to solicit some 
pointers on how to do two things:

1. place a logo at an exact XY position on the paper

2. exact placement of the address block (as this needs to fit with 
standard envelope windows).

Regards,

Frank

Currently there is no environment in CONTeXT available which performs the
tasks from the  ntg-style.
If this will be developed, it will definitely offer the same functionality.

Kind regards

Here an example (in dutch). Include it like this:

======
\input berendbrief.tex

\starttekst
Yada\crlf
Street\crlf
City\crlf

{\bf Subject}

Dear Whatever,

Test ...
\stoptekst

There is an example on how to prepare a letterhead worked out in all 
detail in the last MAPS. Cordially...Karel.
