How do I capitalise the first letter of the letter?
I think that most people will answer in ‘yes’, and, until recently, I was one of them. My wife does not talk fluent English with my wife, but, as I was about to correct her, it occurred to me that in fact her approach is the more logical. If it’s all on one line, I’d write “Dear recipient, this is a letter to you,” and not “Dear recipient, This is a letter to you.” Then I would leave out “Dear recipient, this is a letter to you.” Why is the interpolation of a line break after the comma not required?
Can English be governed as a whole? I found many companies on the
Internet using Google search instead of searching them.
Dear the Recipient (smile) is a salutation, it is not part of the following text. In less formal communication, the block is usually set off above the content of the letter. Therefore, it is followed by a comma if the letter is very long.
In business formatting, the salutation (e.g. , Dear Sir), is followed by colon.
I was taught this in English class, ” Dear Sally, what are you doing? ” This is correct to me.
