02 br 02 br 00 To a friend: Dear Friend or Dear (put here the first name of your friend). You could use the first name at the beginning of the letter after Dear to show that you are on familiar and friendly terms with the person. This would be very informal.

Hi there,
Would it be a mistake to write something like this:
Dear Prof. ***,
Hello, bla-bla...
Can I actually greet a person with "dear" at the beginning?

Dear Professor ***,
is a good way to start a letter to a professor.
Don't continue by saying 'Hello'. It's not necessary, and looks odd.
What are you going to write at the end of the letter?

Newbie_newbiehow can I salute in a letterActually, even though we call it a "salutation", "salute" usually isn't used to refer to it. In AmEng, at least, we use "greeting". "Salute" is more like a physical action that shows respect to a superior or to the flag.

CliveWhat are you going to write at the end of the letter?Thanks, Clive. Something like 'Greetings' or 'Best wishes'. The letter was quite informal.
