Using Plain TeX macros, which work also in ConTeXt, I do it the=20
following way (which is probably not elegant...):

\starttext

\vbox{
\hbox{\bf laboratoire\dots}\medskip
\line{\it universit\'e de versailles\hfill cnrs (umr 7641)}
\vskip .3 true cm
\hrule
\vskip .3 true cm
\line{%
\vtop{
\hbox{Laboratoire\dots }
\hbox{B\^atiment Fermat}
\hbox{Universit\'e de Versailles}
\hbox{45, avenue des \'Etats-Unis}
\hbox{78035 Versailles cedex}
\hbox{France}}
\hss\vtop{
\hbox{t\'el\'ephone : 01 39 25 25 25}
\hbox{{secr\'etariat : num\'ero \`a pr\'eciser plus tard}}
\hbox{fax  : 01 39 25 25 25}
}
}
}

\stoptext
