So, I'm working on my cv, but I get this annoying error message:

There's no line here to end. \makelettertitle

Here is my MWE:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}  
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{textcomp}   
\usepackage{lipsum}
\moderncvtheme[blue]{classic} 
\setlength{\hintscolumnwidth}{3.5cm}    
\usepackage[scale=0.82]{geometry}

\firstname{First name}
\familyname{Last name}
\address{Street}{Postal code City}{Country}
\phone[mobile]{+1234567890}                   
\email{blabla@blabla.bla}    

\begin{document}
\makecvtitle

\makelettertitle

\end{document}

I have already red this and this questions, but those issues do not match mine. What is wrong with this code? Thanks in advance!!

    Remove the flushright environment from \date. It seems that you write english - maybe you want to replace ngerman by english in the babel option. – esdd May 23 '17 at 22:04
  • @esdd, thanks a lot! flushright was a try to get the date between recipient and opening. Thanks for the english advice, I just forgot to change the language. – Dmitri May 23 '17 at 22:11

Remove the flushright environment from the argument of \date.

To shift the date down you could use

\usepackage{xpatch}
\makeatletter
\xpatchcmd\makeletterhead
  {\@date}{\vskip\baselineskip\hfill\@date}
  {}{\PatchFailed}
\makeatother

enter image description here

Code:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\moderncvtheme[blue]{classic} 
\setlength{\hintscolumnwidth}{3.5cm}
\usepackage[scale=0.82]{geometry}

\firstname{First name}
\familyname{Last name}

\usepackage{xpatch}
\makeatletter
\xpatchcmd\makeletterhead
  {\@date}{\vskip\baselineskip\hfill\@date}
