The salutation of a letter

for me, i am always using " dear Mr. ....."
or " Sir," if i send to my manager
but in general for other people i am only using " dear ..."

Hi,

I want to write a letter to my foreign teacher. But I do not know how to write salutation correctly. for example, if his name is Jodan Jankson ,Should I write like this:" dear teacher Jankon "? or should I wrtie "dear teacher Jodan"?

'Jodan' is an unusual name. Are you sure it is not 'Jordan'?



In English, we don't use job titles when we salute people.

Thanks, Clive.

I am sorry that I made a spelling mistake. His private name is Jordan... When I asked question in the class, I always call him "teacher". Because I think I am not acquainted with him. If I just call him Jordan maybe it is impolite. Do I made a mistake?

Thanks for your reply.^^

Hi,

I would say

Dear Mr. Jankson,

or

Dear Teacher if you are more comfortable with this.



I'm sure he will be happy with whichever you choose.

you are always welcome [Y]
