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.

Stress is now a major problem in many countries around the world. What are some of the factors in modern society that cause stress, and how can we reduce it?
Technology, per se, has made us what we are, master of the universe, springing to control of fire at first to state-of-the-art inventions, e.g., computers and aerocrafts.

In some countries today, many people decide to have their first child when they are older. Why? Is it a positive or negative phenomenon?
In today's society, many couples have made conscious decisions to delay childbirth until later in their lives. This trend is attributable to a main culprit emerging amongst younger generations by which they have a desire to ascend the career ladder. From my perspective, it is a totally negative approach owing to its harmful effects on mothers and their children alike.
