from Pocket Fowler's Modern English Usage.
Dear , as part of a formal greeting at the beginning of a letter, was introduced in the 15c in various formulas. Dear Sir and Dear Madam have become the
most formal types, with Dear Mr Jones and Dear Mrs/Miss/Ms Jones serving as more socially neutral alternatives. Increasingly people are using the full
name as in Dear John Smith or Dear J
