Business email salutations and endings

Here are some common business email salutations and endings:

Salutations:

1. Dear [Recipient's Name]:
2. Hello [Recipient's Name],
3. Hi [Recipient's Name],
4. Good morning/afternoon [Recipient's Name],
5. To Whom It May Concern,
6. Dear Sir/Madam,
7. Dear [Title] [Recipient's Name],

Endings:

1. Best regards,
2. Kind regards,
3. Regards,
4. Sincerely,
5. Thank you for your time,
6. Looking forward to hearing from you,

Tips:

• Use a formal salutation for formal emails, especially when sending to someone you don't know well.
• Use a more casual salutation for informal emails, such as emails to colleagues or friends.
• Make sure to include your name and title at the end of the email, so the recipient knows who is sending the email.
• Use a professional closing, such as "Best regards" or "Sincerely", to show respect and professionalism.
• Avoid using overly casual endings, such as "Talk to you soon" or "Take care", unless you're sending an email to a close colleague or friend.
• Proofread your email carefully to ensure that the salutation and ending are correct and professional.
