Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing with reference to a newspaper advertisement to recommend a guest speaker for the monthly event planned at your bookshop. I believe we should invite Mr Harry Kane, the economist. He has performed various consulting roles in developing countries in the past decade to manage the economic recession. Our country is struggling to meet the basic needs of people and it may take years to recover from the current situation. Mr Kane could guide us on how to handle finances and run the family when the inflation rate is skyrocketing.

The Greeting

Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.

Always start an informal letter in the ways:

  • Dear + name
  • Hi / Hello + name

‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.

For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:

  • Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
  • Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
