Question

Lance is an executive at a manufacturing company, and he needs to write a letter thanking amoreena sanchez, a partner at a law firm that sometimes represents his company in disputes, for the congratulatory bottle of champagne she sent to his office after they successfully defended against a lawsuit. lance and amoreena also happen to be good friends who grew up on the same block. how should lance compose the letter's salutation?

Answer 1

Answer: Dear Amoreena

Explanation:

The standard salutation to use when writing a business letter is "Dear", which is then followed by the name of the person and closing with a colon.

Even though Lance and Amoreena are good friends who grew up living in the same area, it won't be appropriate just addressing him anyhow without using the proper salutation. This is an official letter and should not be treated as an informal letter.
