I'm using moderncv to get my cover letter. In the upper part of the document LaTeX sets up the address line of the company. The thing is that the first part of this address line has bold letters. However, I'd like to have everything without bold letters.
Details
The crucial command is the first {} of the recipients-line (see MWE). The first {} makes the text bold. I'd like to leave the first {} free to avoid bold lettering. However, LaTeX will output me an error if I do so. Do you have any idea how to solve this.
Many thanks in advance.
