Depending on your skill level, and how much you really want this, you
can try extracting the footer-related section from the letter class and
putting that in the g-brief class (or inputting it separately). If you
do this, just make a new class. I've done similar stuff with modifying
the seminar.cls style to get rid of borders, or modifying bibliography
styles to allow for a Bachelor's thesis. Just keep in mind that TeX
really is a different language from LaTeX and you'll be fine....
