Try this: copy stdletter.inc from the LyX layout directory to your layout
directory and add the following:

# begin/end letter environment commands:

# !!!Attention: Must be closed with EndLetter!!!
# Begin an environment
Style BeginLetter
  LatexType        Command
  LatexName        begin{letter}
  KeepEmpty        1
#  NextNoIndent        1
  LabelType        Centered_Top_Environment
  LabelString        "_____    Letter Text (use EndLetter to close!)   _____"
  LabelFont 
    Family        Sans
    Size        small
    Color       blue
  EndFont
End

# !!! Attention: Use only for Letters started with BeginLetter!!!
# End an Letter
Style EndLetter
  CopyStyle        BeginLetter
  LatexName        end{letter}
  LabelString        "_____  end of letter text   ______"
End


Disclaimer: This is untested, may not work.
Warning: LyX will not tell you about unbalanced begin/end (but TeX will
complain, of course).



Another option (besides ERT) would be a generic begin/end environment style:
(put somewhere where all document layouts can reach it)

# A set of generic container environment commands:

# !!!Attention: Must be closed with EndEnvironment!!!
# Begin an environment
Style BeginEnvironment
  LatexType        Command
  LatexName        begin
  NextNoIndent        1
  Margin        First_Dynamic
  LabelType        Static
  LabelString        "begin: "
  Font 
    Family        Sans
    Size        small
    Color       blue
  EndFont
  LabelFont 
    Family        Sans
    Size        small
    Color       blue
  EndFont
End

# !!! Attention: Use only for environments started with BeginEnvironment!!!
# End an environment
Style EndEnvironment
  CopyStyle        BeginEnvironment
  LatexName        end
  LabelString        "end: "
End
