5. Depends on the letter
Standard report on work related stuff -- memo form

For blackmail, ya might go with your anonymous friend

If it's a resignation letter, a formal ending is good

Friendly note thanking the boss for the fun evening when you both passed out drunk? maybe skip the formalities and the last name

6. An email to my boss' boss and my boss' boss' boss
ratting out my boss. But not making it sound like that. It's a letter saying "I'm just updating you..."

:P

11. I would try casual memo style (To: X From: Y Re: Update on)
Of course, I'm not necessarily the ideal person to ask, since the last time I sent out a memo like that I really pissed off approximately 75 people

15. I was thinking of the salutation at the end...
"Love XemaSab"

just didn't seem right. :P

16. I believe 'Sincerely' is still the acceptable standard
Though that always sounds to me like "I really mean it!"

You could go with "Thank you for your attention to this matter," though that's rather long for a close.

I usually just omit it.
