Could anyone help me with a doubt?

Should I use Ms to report to someone I do not know whether is married or single? Is that correct?

Hello again Sunflower Yes, 'Ms' is fine in that case. Actually, it's also fine if you know the marital status of the person, but don't know whether she dislikes being called 'Mrs' or 'Miss'. MrP

Hello MrP.

Thanks for the tips! I am trying to study harder and improve my writing skills. These forums are extremely helpful for us non-native speakers...
Thanks again!
