5.8 Positive Persuasive Letter Format

Salutation

When you address a letter to someone, it's called the salutation. Kindness letters are informal, and you don't know the person's name. So how can you start it off?

Here are some sample salutations:

  • To a Friend,
  • To Whoever Finds This Letter,
  • Dear You,
  • Dear Reader,

Notice that all the major words above have the first letter capitalized. Also, notice the commas at the end.
