You have a choice: 'My Lord', and sign-off: 'I am, my Lord, Your Obedient Servant'; or informally, 'Dear Lord Spencer' (e.g.), and finish 'Yours faithfully'.
Please don't use the forms suggested earlier here. Only privy counsellors are called Right Honourable (using this for all peers is out-of-date), and only colonial governors and ambassadors are called 'Excellency'.

The Right Honourable (name of person), (number) Earl of (whatever), for example if you were writing to the current Earl of Derby, you would address your letter to:
The Right Honourable Edward Stanley, 19th Earl of Derby.
"My Lord" or "Dear Lord Stanley" would be the appropriate greeting.

You address an Earl as Your Excellency. For the salutation at the start of a letter, you would put Sir, or Lord (name). In the course of a letter, you would use a mix of Your Excellency, Your Lordship and Sir.
