Interesting way to insert empty lines, I never thought about this method
and use myself the special key 'line' to insert a empty line.

There is *no* predefined keys (except line in the reference line) for  
\setupletter in my module.

I don't define keys in my module, I set only labels for the text in  
the left column
which can be find in the file 'label.nle', to get a text for skype,  
street etc. put
the following lines in your document (or add them to label.nle and  
send me the extended
list):

\setuplabeltext[de][letter:skype=Skype]
\setuplabeltext[de][letter:street=Stra\ssharp e]
\setuplabeltext[de][letter:city=Ort] % or Stadt ...
...

TeX is case sensitive, write 'skype=fiee.visuelle".

The module provides a few layers you can use to position your graphic.

\setupletterstyle
   [lettermain]
   [hoffset=..cm,
    voffset=..cm,
    symbol={\externalfigure[...]},
    state=repeat] % repeat=place on each page, start=only on first  
page, ...
