And letterheads will always be unbalanced until they get a letter on them... 1st rule of letterhead club.

You serious? No letterhead should be unbalanced.
You can't rely on the user to "balance out" the layout by typing enough copy. What happens of it is a one liner with a PO box address.
Sorry but if you design stationary it should ALL look balanced, well considered and consistant.

a few tips:
- use a very legible sans-serif
- weight: light or roman
- preferrably condensed!!
- tone it down, light grey (30-40%)
or something
- put sample copy on it and see if it still looks good
- you could put the most important info at the top and the adresses in 8 small columns at the bottom, should be doable.

I mean it can't be considered simply on it's own. You can't be serious if you just design letterheads for their own existence and not to be used!
Discussing what we mean by balanced is not helping anyone is it. And who mentioned consistency?
And it's stationery by the way.

Crouwel -like that!
light grey (30-40%)
the address the letter originates from 70% (or bold)
