No, nothing is hidden/omitted except "you", which is the usual subject of an imperative sentence.

A 'real and complete sentence' would be, for example:
Kindly be informed that we will be carrying out maintenance work along your road on 12.1.17. (Please do not leave your car parked in the road between 9am and 4 pm).
This is a warning notice. Sometimes Kindly be informed is used solely to relay information.
That said, I find it very old-fashioned.

I actually don't know the exactly rule or stucture used to convey the meaning through the phrase.

The structure is 'Kindly be informed that...', plus whatever you wish to say.

It's a very formal way of starting off a piece of advice or information, which is used in official letters and the like. I wouldn't recommend that you try and use it.

I really, really, REALLY doubt that you 'always see a letter starting with phrase "kindly be informed that....." (as you claimed in the OP)
