Andreas Scherer 135451de17 KOMA-Script doesn't require parskip package. 
Instead, scrlttr2 issues the following warning:

Class scrlttr2 Warning: Usage of package `parskip' together
(scrlttr2)              with a KOMA-Script class is not recommended.
(scrlttr2)              I'd suggest to use option
(scrlttr2)              `parskip' with one of it's several values.
(scrlttr2)              Nevertheless, using requested
(scrlttr2)              package `parskip' on input line 16.

Pandoc Letter Template (DIN 5008)

Description

This template allows you to write simple letters in Markdown and convert them into nice looking PDFs. The template is based on Koma Script and satisfies the German DIN 5008 norm for letters.

Example

A simple letter in Markdown looks like the following:

---
author: Max Mustermann
phone: +49 1234 56789
email: max.mustermann@beispiel.de
date: 01.08.2016
place: Musterstadt
subject: Titel vom Brief
return-address:
 - Musterstraße
 - 12345 Berlin
address:
 - Musterfirma GmbH
 - Max Mustermann
 - Musterstraße
 - 12345 Musterstadt
opening: Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
closing: Mit freundlichen Grüßen
encludes: Muster, Muster, Muster
...

The compiled result will then look like this:
