Thanks for any insight.

There are many ways … two of them:
(Instead of \hfill you can also use {\raggedright <stuff>}.)
Code
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{showframe}
\usepackage{calc} % for \widthof, can be done without, too (see parbox)
\begin{document}
\hfill
\begin{minipage}{\widthof{Some company that has a long name}}
Office 123 \\
Some building \\
Some company that has a long name \\
Some city, some zip 12345 \\
Some country
\end{minipage}
\hfill
\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
Office 123 \\
Some building \\
Some company that has a long name\\
Some city, some zip 12345 \\
Some country
\end{tabular}
\hfill
\sbox0{Some company that has a long name}% without calc
\parbox{\wd0}{% similar to minipage/not pictured
Office 123 \\
Some building \\
Some company that has a long name\\
Some city, some zip 12345 \\
Some country
}
\end{document}
Output
Update
The \hrulefill should be substituted with \hfill. It's only there to show the baseline.
Code
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{calc}
% Text layout
\topmargin -2.0cm
\oddsidemargin 0.2 cm
\evensidemargin 0.4cm
\textwidth 15.5cm
\textheight 25cm
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\includegraphics[width=3.5cm]{Olympics.jpg}
\hrulefill
\begin{tabular}[b]{@{}l@{}}
Office 123 \\
Some building \\
Some company that has a long name\\
Some city, some zip 12345 \\
Some country
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
Output
The closing isn't never centered, but it will change its location and move more to the middle if you add a "fromaddress" with \address{fromadress}.
The letter-class is quite old and not very good. Consider to use a better one:

Avoid the a4 and the aeguill packages.

Simplest:
However, this does add some spaces you may not want. Perhaps:
But in LaTeX this sort of thing should be handled by your class or package file; that is, you should be typing something like
\valediction{Sincerely}and having LaTeX take care of where to put it.What class are you using? I'd suggest
newlfmfor letters; you can get this from your distribution's repos, or directly from CTAN. I'd also suggest reading The Not-So-Short Introduction to LaTeX2e, which you can also find on CTAN. It will give you the fundamentals for answering these questions on your own.
