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
