of course it is totally a matter of personal choice, but it seems to work for me!

Hope this helps!

That's a very interesting and most helpful website. I haven't finished reading all the info yet, thus far it's been very informative. Thank you very much for passing it along. Hopefully others will read this topic and learn from it as well.

I tend to change the way I start out my letters. Mostly I start out for example

Dear Ron,

instead of

Dear Mr. White


But I mix it around

I always start my letters with

"Dear Mr._____ or Dear Mrs._____"

I always close my letters with

"Sincerely"


I find this to be a polite way of writing.

Just my opinion.

I always write Dear Ms./Mr. Firstname Lastname. For example: Dear Mr. Ringo Starr, it's just the way I've always done it, and it has worked so far for me :)

I also address child stars the same way, because they have also earned the respect that the adults have, and I know how good it feels to be treated like you're grown up if you're a little kid. I wrote to a four year old and addressed it Dear Mr. Ty Panitz and I got back a really cute drawing, a signed picture, and a letter that his dad had written as he told him what to say.
