Which pattern should I use to create an XML Request?

Hi,

I have a question for the community.
I need to generate the following XML (see below) to issue a request.
Which pattern should I use to create this Xml request, without using Composite Pattern?

<Customer>
      <Person>
           <Age1/>
           <Age2/>
      </Person>
       <Address>
            <Location/>
            <City/>
            <Country/>
      </Address>
</Customer>

I know I could create a Customer class containing a Person and an Address class and then serialize it to XML.
However, how can I create this XML using a pattern? And which pattern should I use?

Thanks.

Iterator can be applicable here.

I'm using the Pattern in Action 4.0 solution and using Entity Framework. I am questioning the way the app implements sorting using dynamic strings. If your entity object field has a different name to the business object field e.g EmployerEntity.LastName Employer.Surname. The app uses Mapper.CS in Data Layer to convert correctly entity.LastName to Surname. But if you sort on UI using "Surname ASC" it will fail; it will work if UI uses "LastName ASC" , so the UI needs an understanding of the Entity/db.
