You wouldn’t start off an e-mail with “My Dear X”, or “Dearest X”, since that would be too personal for a professional email, so “To X” being more impersonal seems like it would make the letter more professional-sounding, compared to “Dear X”.

    Well, emails are less formal, so that’s fine.

    Keep in mind…. Things like eviction notices…. Being nice comes off… creepy. “Hello! Get the fuck out! Sincerely,” just… ya know?

    Most of my emails people don’t actually read. They just open the attachments and get to what they need right off.

    Also… this guide is like… 30+yo typist etiquette. Emails were barely a thing back then.
