Letter Writing
Business Letters
On my courses of translation, i started studying the topic Business Letters. i faced a trouble from the very begining: the problem with greeting and ending the letter. how should i begin a letter if i write to a company, to a man, unmarried or married woman? what's the best ending: best wishes or truly yours or yours faithfully? Please, help me, because I think without help i won't be able to understand it))

To whom it may concern; Dear Sir or Madam (you probably don't know if the woman is married or not, but I think this form works). Yours truly, Sincerely yours.
