How to break the alignment of the date?
4
I'm writing a cover letter for a presentation but the line with the following text:
University of Baltimore, Department of mechatronics is broken due to the presence of the line Date. As you can see, they lie on the same line:
That text mechatronics should be on the same line of University of... . I tried already some commands like: nolinebreak, and the character ~ but it doesn't work.
Here is my minimal working example:

How can I change my code, so that the text and the date not on the same line lie?

You can fool LaTeX with rlap:

Well, I think the better solution would be to start the department line new on the left with
recipient{University of Baltimore, \Department of mechatronics}{Prof. Micky Mouse \Somewhere in the world\98763 Baltimore} % Letter recipient
% ^^^^
If you do not want to do this you have to redefine command makeletterhead. Inside it you find the code for the minipage placing the recipients address with
begin{minipage}[t]{.5textwidth}
raggedright%
addressfont%
{bfseriesupshape@recipientname}\%
@recipientaddress%
end{minipage}
Change here the width of the minipage to your needs, for example to .7textwidth:
begin{minipage}[t]{.7textwidth} % <==================== .5textwidth
raggedright%
addressfont%
{bfseriesupshape@recipientname}\%
@recipientaddress%
end{minipage}
With the following code (please see that I used the current version 2.0.0 of class moderncv; it could be you are using an older version as indicated in this comment: Version 1.3 (29/10/16)):

Many thanks @Kurt both your solutions are suitable and work.

More easily: at the end of the preamble addpatchcmd{makeletterhead}{[t]{.5textwidth}}{[t]{0.7textwidth}}{}{}, afterusepackage{etoolbox}.

Well, I think the better solution would be to start the department line new on the left with
recipient{University of Baltimore, \Department of mechatronics}{Prof. Micky Mouse \Somewhere in the world\98763 Baltimore} % Letter recipient
% ^^^^
If you do not want to do this you have to redefine command makeletterhead. Inside it you find the code for the minipage placing the recipients address with
begin{minipage}[t]{.5textwidth}
raggedright%
addressfont%
{bfseriesupshape@recipientname}\%
@recipientaddress%
end{minipage}
Change here the width of the minipage to your needs, for example to .7textwidth:
begin{minipage}[t]{.7textwidth} % <==================== .5textwidth
raggedright%
addressfont%
{bfseriesupshape@recipientname}\%
@recipientaddress%
end{minipage}
With the following code (please see that I used the current version 2.0.0 of class moderncv; it could be you are using an older version as indicated in this comment: Version 1.3 (29/10/16)):
