I am writing a letter and I want LaTex to put a cursive signature between sincerely and my printed name. When I do it like this, It puts the cursive under the print.
\signature{Jane Doe\\Job Title\\Company Name\\phone #}
\begin{letter}
\opening{Dear ConAgra Food Supplier:}
\closing{Sincerely yours,}
\LARGE\calligra Jane Doe
\end{letter}

You can specify the closing, your cursive name and your signature all within the
\closing
command (as suggested in a comment by @Harish):The
[2ex]
after the newline commands specify how much vertical space to add between the lines. Change at will.Remove also completely the line
\signature{...}
, you won't need it.You can inspect the definition of
\closing{..}
if you look at the source code of theletter.cls
style file. From there I deduce that there isn't really anything much more subtle that you could do:\closing
creates an indented parbox, and prints in there the closing itself, a vertical spacing, and then either the specified signature (if any) or the specified name. There seems to be no inherent way to fill in that vertical space it inserts.
