In sending formal e-mails to collegues, what is the prular of Dear ?
Top answer
There is no plural of Dear. When you are writing to one person: Dear Mr. Smith: --- formal Dear Aunt Linda, --- personal Dear Aunt Linda and Uncle Tom, --- personal, two people, still just dear I would argue that a formal business letter does not go to more than one recipient, unless it's a committee/board/etc.

- Smith: --- formal Dear Aunt Linda, --- personal Dear Aunt Linda and Uncle Tom, --- personal, two people, still just dear I would argue that a formal business letter does not go to more than one recipient, unless it's a committee/board/etc.
- " However, I start mine with things like "Hi Mary" when it's a colleague I'm friendly with, or just "Mary," when it's a person I don't have a personal relationship with.
- If you are writing to muliple people, you can just say Good morning, everyone.
