*Simple LaTeX class for letters (both French and English).*

*Fun fact:* Epistola is a [Latin word](http://latindictionary.wikidot.com/noun:epistola) that can be translated to `letter`.

## Options

- `english` will use the English letter layout (north-American, see disclaimer).

- `french` will use the French letter layout.

- `signature` will use the image file named *signature* and display it in the letter closing.

- `boldnames` will display the names in the header in bold (note that if `english` is used, only the recipient name is displayed).

## Disclaimer

Please note that there is not an universal letter layout standard (especially in English). This class might not meet your own exact layout requirements, as it has been originally developped for personal use. Thank you for your understanding!

## Attribution

- This class uses existing `LaTeX` classes: `letter` (for the English layout) and `lettre` (for the French layout). You can find the CTAN packages respectively [here](https://ctan.org/pkg/letter) and [here](https://ctan.org/pkg/lettre). Many thanks to the authors!

- The fake signature has been made using the `Signatures` font made by [Jonathan S. Harris](https://www.dafont.com/signatures.font).
