Writing an email in English can be tricky \u2013 especially when you\u2019re not sure how to start it. Choosing the right email greeting in English<\/strong> sets the tone for your entire message, and it\u2019s one of the first things your reader will notice.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Before we had email, people were taught to write Dear Sirs<\/em> or Dear Sir\/Madam<\/em>, but that\u2019s as outdated as sending a fax in a time of social media and instant messaging. In this guide, you\u2019ll learn which greetings still work, which ones don\u2019t, and how to sound polite and professional in your business emails. You\u2019ll also find a list of greetings, from best to worst.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

How to choose the appropriate email greeting<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Start by considering who you are writing to as this sets the tone for your message. Depending on the person, their position, and their industry, you may need to be more or less formal. In some sectors, such as IT and marketing, informal communication is more common, while in others, such as the legal profession or academia, a more reserved writing style is more appropriate.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TIP<\/strong>: If you\u2019re not sure, start more formal \u2014 you can always become more casual later.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

\n

What if you don\u2019t know their name?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

If possible, find out the name of the person you\u2019ll be emailing. If you\u2019re applying for a job, this is particularly important. Check the company website or job description to see if they list the recruitment manager or head of HR, or look them up on LinkedIn or Xing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> A good alternative is Good morning <\/em>or Good afternoon<\/em>. It\u2019s more polite that Dear Sales Team<\/em> or Dear Company<\/em>.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

\n

First names \u2013 what\u2019s appropriate?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

In English, we tend to be less formal than in German, and it\u2019s more common to use first names. This is partly due to the lack of du\/Sie, but even years ago when I first came to Germany, I was surprised that colleagues who had worked together for decades still addressed each other as Frau<\/em> or Herr<\/em>. Even then, Britain was much more casual, and most workplaces had a first-name policy. Find out more about my thoughts on du\/Sie, and why I use du<\/em> on my website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That said, there are still some situations where using first names might not be welcome. And never use a nickname unless they use it themselves. Calling someone \u2018Susie\u2019 when her name is \u2018Susanne\u2019 gives a bad first impression.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> If you are unsure, use Mr<\/em> or Ms<\/em> but sign off using your first name \u2013 that signals to them that you are happy with a more casual tone, and they\u2019ll likely respond in the same way.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

\n

Using Mrs, Miss, or Ms<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Traditionally, women were addressed as Miss<\/em> when they were unmarried, and then Mrs<\/em> once they were wed. This has become increasingly unfashionable, as many women dislike that their name reflects their marital status. Men are always addressed as Mr<\/em>, as even young boys are no longer addressed as Master<\/em>. Many women prefer to use the honorific Ms<\/em> (Pronounced Mzz<\/em>), though others still use Mrs<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> If in doubt, use Ms <\/em>for the initial contact.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

\n

Titles and academic degrees<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Brits and Americans tend not to use their titles as much as Germans \u2013 unless it\u2019s directly relevant to their qualifications or job. A doctor of medicine will almost always use their title but someone with a doctorate in another field might not. They may or may not wish to be referred to using their title.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> In British English, we don\u2019t punctuate abbreviations of professional titles, so we write Dr<\/em>, while Americans add a full stop (which, of course, they call a period<\/em>!) for example, Dr. Smith<\/em>. This also goes for other honorifics (Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms<\/em>).<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

\n

What about punctuation?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Always use a comma at the end of the greeting. Never, ever use an exclamation mark. They\u2019re used less in English writing in general, and may appear overly enthusiastic or emotional. They are the Golden Retrievers of punctuation, in my mind. \u00a0<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

\n

So, which greeting is the best.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my list of preferred greetings, from best to worst. If you are unsure, start at the top and work your way down.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Dear Ms Smith \/ Dear Mrs Jones \/ Dear Dr Williams
<\/strong>Classic. Unremarkable. Polite. It\u2019s the Hefekuchen of greetings \u2013 not particularly exciting, but liked by almost everyone. Some might find this overly formal, but no one will be offended.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hi John \/ Hello Sarah \/ Hello Dr Williams
<\/strong>Modern and approachable, especially in certain industries such as media or tech. Be careful not to use \u2018Hallo\u2019, as that\u2019s the German spelling and comes across as Denglish.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Good morning \/ Good afternoon<\/strong>
A great workaround if you don\u2019t know the name of the person. Even if it\u2019s not morning or afternoon when they open the email, particularly if they are in a different timezone, it\u2019s friendly and safe.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dear Recruiter \/ Hello HR Team<\/strong>
Using the job title or department is acceptable, but only barely. Try to find the person\u2019s name, particularly if you are applying for a job or pitching a product \u2013 otherwise, it can sound like a generic mass email.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr Smith \/ Sarah<\/strong>
Starting an email just someone\u2019s name sounds rude and abrupt, like you are shouting across the office at them. Avoid.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hey!
<\/strong>Unless you are a skateboarder looking to buy new gear, never use \u2018Hey!\u2019 as an email greeting. Never.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dear Sir \/ Dear Madam<\/strong>
Are you an 89-year-old professor, writing from his office in a country home in Oxford? No? Then skip this one.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To whom it may concern<\/strong>
You are either a timetraveler from 1959, or you really don\u2019t want your business partner to take you seriously. Please don\u2019t ever use this.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Getting the greeting right is the first step to better communication in English. Whether you choose Dear Mr Jones<\/em>, Hello Sarah<\/em>, or Good morning<\/em>, the goal is to sound natural, respectful, and confident.<\/p>\n
