[Tex/LaTex] Remove the sender from Letter header

scrlttr2

Per default, the sender info is printed twice, one in the header and also in the address field.

I would like to hide the sender information in the header.

This question is related to Remove double sender header

Best Answer

Set class option firsthead=false. Then you can remove options fromalign, fromrule and fromphone:

\documentclass[
  fontsize=11pt,
  paper=a4,
  parskip=half,
  enlargefirstpage=on,    % More space on first page
  addrfield=on,           % Adress field for envelope with window
  % following line is changed:
  backaddress=on,         % Sender address in this window
  subject=beforeopening,  % Placement of subject
  locfield=narrow,        % Additional field for sender
  foldmarks=on,           % Print foldmarks
  firsthead=false % <- added
]{scrlttr2}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\setkomafont{fromname}{\sffamily \LARGE}
\setkomafont{fromaddress}{\sffamily}%% statt \small
\setkomafont{pagenumber}{\sffamily}
\setkomafont{subject}{\bfseries}
%\setkomafont{backaddress}{\mdseries}

%\LoadLetterOption{DIN}
\setkomavar{fromname}{Mario Rossi}
\setkomavar{fromaddress}{Via Roma 2,\\Frascati}
\setkomavar{fromphone}{+39 \,00\,00\,00\,000}
\setkomavar{fromemail}{goodboy@foo.com} % NON VIENE VISUALIZZATA
%\setkomavar{backaddressseparator}{\enspace\textperiodcentered\enspace}
\setkomavar{signature}{(Mario Rossi)}
\setkomavar{place}{Frascati}
\setkomavar{date}{\today}
\setkomavar{enclseparator}{: }

\begin{document}
  \begin{letter}{To: Claire Laterfield}
    \setkomavar{subject}{Greetings}
    \opening{Dear Claire,}
    I am writing this letter because I have nothing better to do.

    \closing{Sincerely,}
  \end{letter}
\end{document}

Alternatively you can change the variable firsthead. If the header should be empty use:

\documentclass[
  fontsize=11pt,
  paper=a4,
  parskip=half,
  enlargefirstpage=on,    % More space on first page
  addrfield=on,           % Adress field for envelope with window
  % following line is changed:
  backaddress=on,         % Sender address in this window
  subject=beforeopening,  % Placement of subject
  locfield=narrow,        % Additional field for sender
  foldmarks=on,           % Print foldmarks
]{scrlttr2}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\setkomafont{fromname}{\sffamily \LARGE}
\setkomafont{fromaddress}{\sffamily}%% statt \small
\setkomafont{pagenumber}{\sffamily}
\setkomafont{subject}{\bfseries}
%\setkomafont{backaddress}{\mdseries}

%\LoadLetterOption{DIN}
\setkomavar{fromname}{Mario Rossi}
\setkomavar{fromaddress}{Via Roma 2,\\Frascati}
\setkomavar{fromphone}{+39 \,00\,00\,00\,000}
\setkomavar{fromemail}{goodboy@foo.com} % NON VIENE VISUALIZZATA
%\setkomavar{backaddressseparator}{\enspace\textperiodcentered\enspace}
\setkomavar{signature}{(Mario Rossi)}
\setkomavar{place}{Frascati}
\setkomavar{date}{\today}
\setkomavar{enclseparator}{: }

\setkomavar{firsthead}{}% <- added

\begin{document}
  \begin{letter}{To: Claire Laterfield}
    \setkomavar{subject}{Greetings}
    \opening{Dear Claire,}
    I am writing this letter because I have nothing better to do.

    \closing{Sincerely,}
  \end{letter}
\end{document}

It is also possible to define your own header:

\documentclass[
  fontsize=11pt,
  paper=a4,
  parskip=half,
  enlargefirstpage=on,    % More space on first page
  addrfield=on,           % Adress field for envelope with window
  % following line is changed:
  backaddress=on,         % Sender address in this window
  subject=beforeopening,  % Placement of subject
  locfield=narrow,        % Additional field for sender
  foldmarks=on,           % Print foldmarks
]{scrlttr2}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\setkomafont{fromname}{\sffamily \LARGE}
\setkomafont{fromaddress}{\sffamily}%% statt \small
\setkomafont{pagenumber}{\sffamily}
\setkomafont{subject}{\bfseries}
%\setkomafont{backaddress}{\mdseries}

%\LoadLetterOption{DIN}
\setkomavar{fromname}{Mario Rossi}
\setkomavar{fromaddress}{Via Roma 2,\\Frascati}
\setkomavar{fromphone}{+39 \,00\,00\,00\,000}
\setkomavar{fromemail}{goodboy@foo.com} % NON VIENE VISUALIZZATA
%\setkomavar{backaddressseparator}{\enspace\textperiodcentered\enspace}
\setkomavar{signature}{(Mario Rossi)}
\setkomavar{place}{Frascati}
\setkomavar{date}{\today}
\setkomavar{enclseparator}{: }

\setkomavar{firsthead}{<own header>}% <- added

\begin{document}
  \begin{letter}{To: Claire Laterfield}
    \setkomavar{subject}{Greetings}
    \opening{Dear Claire,}
    I am writing this letter because I have nothing better to do.

    \closing{Sincerely,}
  \end{letter}
\end{document}
