Hi Marvin, I had the same pb as you have so I wrote my template from a Latex Class written specifically by a French to write Business letters...
you can find it on http://www.alphacent.com/opensource it is in the Divers section under the LyX one :) it is called : "lyx-fr-lettre-1" you can only find it on the French version of the page... this is a Slackware package but you can just unpack it somewhere and read the install/doinst.sh to see what it does (actually just a texhash if I remember well) anything else is straight forward if you need more help please write directly to me... Hope it helps, Aide Florent Alpha Centauri http://www.alphacent.com PS. I had feed-back it works on Suse be doing so: go to / untargz the package then install/doinst.sh then rm -rf /install. it is only if LyX on your system has --prefix=/usr else you'll need to put the files by hand where they belong...
