Greeting Of Letter

When you are writing a letter for employment or business purposes, it's important to address the individual you are writing to formally, unless you know them well.

The appropriate title for writing to a male is Mr. For a female, use Ms. Ms. is more professional than Mrs. even if you know the person you are writing to is married. For a medical doctor or someone with a PhD, use Dr.

If you don't know whether the individual is a man or woman use a gender neutral greeting and simply include their first and last name i.e. Dear Tristan Dolan.

The following is a list of letter salutation examples that are appropriate for business and employment-related correspondence.

Letter Greeting Examples

• Dear Mr. Doni
• Dear Mr. Paijo
• Dear Mbah Kakung
• Dear Dr. Joko

Follow the greeting with a colon or comma, a space, and then start the first paragraph of your letter. For example:

Dear Mr. Sule:

First paragraph of letter.

When You Don't Have a Contact Person

If you don't have a contact person at the company either leave off the salutation from your cover letter and start with the first paragraph of your letter or use a general salutation. For example:

To whom it may concern:

First paragraph of letter.
