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.

Whilst certain people contend the notion that in order to make people healthier, the number of sports amenities should be increased, others refuse to settle with this proposal as they have gravitated towards the effectiveness of other alternatives such as raising awareness and diet control measures. In my view, boosting public health is a multifaceted phenomenon with a negligible correlation between the number of sports activities.
