Can you start a letter with salutations?

Use a Formal Salutation While those informal greetings are fine for casual emails to friends or even for more formal emails you might send to groups of people, in a professional letter you’ll need to use a personal salutation with either a first and/or last name (“Dear Mr. Doe”) or a job title (“Dear Hiring Manager”).

If you are writing more formally and are addressing the recipient by last name, it is usually preferable to close your email with your full name.

What type of punctuation marks are used for article titles?

Italicize titles of works (books, magazines, newspapers, movies, plays, and CDs). Use quotation marks for shorter works (book chapters, articles, poems, and songs). Sometimes you will find yourself stuck and you don’t know what punctuation you should use.

Do you put a comma after in the article?

We need the title of the article (because we have to assume we don’t know which article you’re referring to), so the title is not parenthetical and we should not set it off with a pair of commas. (There is a comma after the title because it comes at the end of an introductory phrase.) So, no article after “article.”

What do you call your name at the end of an email?
