Add the recipient address to the application in ModernCV

Question

I am trying to add the recipient \recipient{HR Departmnet}{Corporation\\123 Pleasant Lane\\12345 City, State} to the application after the CV but I am getting nothing in the PDF file. How can I add the recipient to the application?

I just want to mention that all information in the CV is fake.

Code

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{moderncv}
\moderncvtheme[red]{casual} %[blue, green, orange, red, grey]{casual, classic}

\setlength{\hintscolumnwidth}{4cm} %Laenge link
\usepackage{lmodern}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5}
\usepackage{lipsum}

Answer 1

You need to complete your letter as shown in the file template.tex of moderncv.

You missed the following lines:

\recipient{HR Department}{Corporation\\123 Pleasant Lane\\12345 City, State}
\date{January 01, 1984}
\opening{Dear Sir or Madam,}% Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren
\closing{Yours faithfully,}% freundliche Grüße
\enclosure[Attached]{curriculum vit\ae{}}          % use an optional argument to use a string other than "Enclosure", or redefine \enclname
\makelettertitle

and you should change your ending of the letter

Freundliche Grüße, \\
Alex Baumann

to:

\makeletterclosing

At last you do not need environment justify.

Please see the following MWE:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{moderncv}
\moderncvtheme[red]{casual} %[blue, green, orange, red, grey]{casual, classic}

\setlength{\hintscolumnwidth}{4cm} %Laenge link
\setlength{\footskip}{42.5pt}

\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5}
