Dear Sir/Madam,
Is there a standard for the salutation in an email like there is for a
letter?

Many emails I receive start with Hi or Hey.  This seems to apply to many
formal emails, and not only my teenage children.
Some emails have no salutation at all.

Have the days of
     Dear Pat,  ................  yours sincerly
and
    Dear Sir, ....................  yours faithfully
now gone forever?

The Style Manual refers to letters with Dear Sir and so on, but makes no
mention of emails.

yours faithfully,

Bob Trussler
