The English KOMA documentation is in "scrguien.pdf", which contains  
docs for scrlttr2.

Do you mean you're not sure how to do that? (I haven't followed the  
proposed solutions so far.)
You can surround paragraphs of text with a box of the same size (and  
therefore put a line the same width as your paragraph) using the  
varwidth package:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{varwidth}
\begin{document}
\begin{varwidth}{\linewidth}
\hrule\smallskip
this is some text that has a box fit around it.

paragraph text is of course allowed.
\end{varwidth}
\end{document}

Hope this helps,
Will
