Thank you, that was the word I was looking for. Can you also say "address"?

The address is the part that says:
123 Main Street
Town, ST 12345
(Or whatever the address convention is in the country this is going to.)

Thank you. I was wondering because my dictionary lists "address" as an alternative to "salutation", but it seemed odd to me.

In speech, not in a letter, "Mr. Smith" is a form of address.
Please address me as Lady Grantham.
Please address me as Lady Grantham.
