and I don't understand why there is space left before Bruce, does anyone know why this is happening?

hey marmot, I did try that and it worked! I would like to understand why am I forced to use noindent though. If I write normal text it doesn't indent it as you can see from address... could you explain me why?

You use a document class that comes with indents at the beginning of a paragraph.\does not end a paragraph, and you should not use it this way. From what I see, you are not using the document class that might be optimal for your task. It looks to me that you are writing a letter, and there are several document classes for that, perhaps scrletter may be more appropriate.
