"Ms." should be followed by the person's last name.

Please try to use correct spelling and capitalization in your posts ("Could you please..." instead of "could u plz.") Thank you!

you should only use titles (such as Mr/Mrs/Ms) with surnames or full names. It does sound odd with the first name.

Thanks for your understanding. I know that abbreviations like "plz" are very common all over the internet -- but we try to avoid them here.

Anyway, we're happy to help.
