The opening salutation
Dear Sir or Madam (Estimado señor o señora)
If we do not know the name of the person we are writing to, we should use this salutation. Nevertheless it is advisable to try to discover the name of the person we are going to address the email or letter- We must be careful not to write colon (:) after the salutation, as we do in Spanish, but a coma(,). And even though there is a coma after the salutation, the first word of the email/letter must always start with a capital letter.
- Dear George, (Esimado Jorge,)
- Dear Mr Smith, (Estimado Sr. Smith,) Dear Ms Smith, (Estimada Sra. / Srta. Smith,)
The closing salutation
- Yours faithfully ( Atentamente) If we do not know the name of the addressee, we must end this way.
- Yours sincerely (Le saluda atentamente )If we know the name of the addressee, we must end this way.
- Best wishes / Best regards (Saludos),If the person we are writing to is a bussiness aquaintance or friend.
