Put the encl at the bottom of the page (lettre class)
Using the lettre document class, I want to place the enclosures automatically at the bottom of the page, like this :
This is the default behavior :
This is the code I used to get the first picture (with the enclosures at the bottom) :
documentclass[romand]{lettre}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{lmodern}
usepackage[francais]{babel}
name{Mister Z}
begin{document}
begin{letter}{Company X\
Mister Y\
Address\
Town}
conc{Business contract}
opening{Dear Sir,}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, % and so on..
closing{Kind regards,}
vspace{60mm} % This is what I want to be automatic (adaptative)
encl{Contract}
end{letter}
end{document}
I'd like to replace vspace{60mm} by something which would automatically take all free space like vfill. But vfill does not do what I want here, I think this is because the letter is written inside the letter environment, which probably does not take the whole page. I tried to find a solution by looking at the lettre.cls file, but with no success.

Welcome to TeX.SX. A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces, then they're marked as a code sample. You can also highlight the code and click the "code" button ({}).

Your strategy is correct, but the lettre class does a couple of tricky/not nice things. The class adds stopletter (defined as vskip0ptplus1filll) at the end of the letter. That is a filll with 3 l's which swamps all the other stretchable glue. If you replace vspace{60mm} with vskip0ptplus1filll then you enclosure will be halfway to the bottom of the page since you add some 3-l stretch instead of the 2-l stretch of vfill. If you also redefine stopletter to not add space, then the enclosure will be at the bottom of the page. Putting it all together gives
documentclass[romand]{lettre}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{lmodern}
usepackage[francais]{babel}
name{Mister Z}
defstopletter{}%

begin{letter}{Company X\

conc{Business contract}
opening{Dear Sir,}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, % and so on..
closing{Kind regards,}
vskip0ptplus1filll
