Copying someone into a letter
When copying someone into a (printed, written) letter, I'm aware that you put 'cc: Person's Name' at the bottom, under the signature. However what do you do with the rest? Do you change the greeting (e.g. if a letter is cc'd to John Smith would the salutation change to 'Dear Mr Smith'), the address on the page (obviously the address on the envelope changes
