I am using scrlttr2 to write the letter (code below). The header and footer appear correctly on the first page but on the second page and so on, the layout is not the way it should be … that is header is scrambled and footer is in italics and is at incorrect position.
Can anyone help correct the code? Thanks
\documentclass[
fontsize=11pt, % fontsize
paper=a4, % page size a4
firsthead=on, % display header on first page
firstfoot=on, % display footer on first page
