Sorry for the delayed response! I got back from Chicago last week very 
ill and then started taking cough medicine that did not agree with me. 
;-) When it rains, it pours!

<closer> is a part of the text that is separate from the main text, for 
example:

blah, blah,

<closer>Sincerly,

<signed>Patrick Durusau</signed>
</closer>

Of course, you can have much longer closers but that is the general 
idea. The reasoning being that users will want to search for material 
that is in the body of the letter, for example, and ignore the material 
in the closer, or perhaps search for material in closers while ignoring 
the text.

Hope everyone is having a great day!
