In my template I have:
\long\def\letterclosing#1#2{
\blank[line]#1,
\blank[3*line]#2
}
And in the main file I have:
\letterclosing{Hoogachtend}{Cecil Westerhof}
But I would like to have this as the default, so I could use:
\letterclosing
Beside that I would like to have the possibility to use:
\letterclosing{business}
or
\letterclosing{family}
This would then use defined values.
When the first parameter is filled, but not with a recognized value,
then the second parameter should be filled. If not, the compilation of
the file should generate an error. Is this something that can be done?

Goes a long way. With two parameters it works. When using 'unknown' or
'dummy', I get \wait= messages. When giving enter, the document is
still generated. But that is not a real problem. But when using:
\letterclosing
or
\letterclosing{}
I get the same wait= message and there is no letterclosing generated
(or an empty one).
Found the problem.
\doifelsenothing{#1}
{\doletterclosing{Hoogachtend,}{Cecil Westerhof}}%
should be:
\doifelsenothing{#1}
{\doletterclosing{Hoogachtend,}{Cecil Westerhof}}%
Now it seems to do what I want.

I did only what you wrote.

IF you don't want a error on the terminal replace
unknown=>{\errorisfataltrue\waitonfatalerror}]}%
with
unknown=>{\dodoletterclosing{Hoogachtend,}{Cecil Westerhof}}]}%
or something else.

I don't see the difference. Would you point it out for me?
Thanks,

It should be
\doifelsenothing{#1}
{\dodoletterclosing{Hoogachtend,}{Cecil Westerhof}}%

I was not clear enough again.
What I mend was that when there is not a recognized value, then the
output file should not be generated. When you give a return the file
is still generated. But that is only a minor. (Maybe what I want is
not possible.)

You are right, bad copying/pasting from me. It should be:
\doifelsenothing{#1}
{\dodoletterclosing{Hoogachtend,}{Cecil Westerhof}}%
(dodo instead of do)
