in a letter sent by a company's Human resource Manager to all the members of staff to invite them to a meeting, how would you start the letter? Dear colleagues? Dear Sir or Madam dear members of staff dear associates dear employees ???? (those are all the answers I found in letters written by students) thank you for your help!
Hi Weetabix. We cannot correct the students' answers for you. Please tell us which term you are thinking of using and why. Thanks, Nun-Translator moderator
personally, I wouls simply use Dear Sir or Madam. But i was wondering If it would bepossible to use "dear colleagues". I would not use the other 3
I can't imagine "Dear Sir or Madam" used to address members of one's own company. I would prefer "Dear Colleagues", which sounds a bit formal, or "Dear Fellow Employees". "Greetings" might work.
