Hi Paul.
This can be done in latex, even if in a non automatic way.
Put these lines in the preamble:
\leftskip=1in
\newcommand{\newmargin}[1]{\hangindent=1in\hangafter=-#1\break\leftskip=0in}
and run latex a first time. Take note of where the pagebreak occurs.
Then insert there (in ERT) the command \newmargin{N} where N is equal
to the number of lines in the paragraph so far.
Example pasted at the bottom.

These are harder (for me). I didn't study the scrlttr2.cls but at a first
look it does strange things. Even with a \stretch{3} I was not able to left
justify the date.
