Letter Writing
With a comma or without a comma
When I write a letter,
Dear Mr Smith
Dear Mr Smith,
which one is correct?
Dear Mr Smith
Dear Mr Smith,
which one is correct?

Hello Cateran Both are correct in British English. But if you omit the comma after "Dear Mr Smith", you should also omit it after "Yours sincerely". It may be different in American English.
