Reading the dinbrief.cls documentation, I see that there is an old version
of the norm (dating to 1976), which uses plural, and a new version, which
uses singular. The class provides a switch \enabledraftstandard to enable
the new version. The new version also gets automatically enabled if you use
"writer".

Copy this into the preamble:
\renewcommand*\signmsgnew{Mein Zeichen, meine Nachricht vom}
\renewcommand*\yourmailmsg{Ihr Zeichen, Ihre Nachricht vom}
\renewcommand*\writermsg{,\ Sachbearbeiter}

This is how these strings are defined in the LaTeX class (dinbrief.cls),
LyX does not change anything here. So if you think there is something wrong
with these strings (I do not have the norm here to check myself), you
should probably contact the LaTeX class maintainer.
