How do you greet someone professionally in an email?

Use “Dear” as a formal salutation. If you’re writing a formal email or letter to your boss or someone of importance within a company, aim to always address them with “Dear” and then their name. This conveys respect and shows that the following message is of formal importance.^[10]
- Double-check that you haven’t misspelled the recipient’s name and have used the correct pronouns before hitting send.
Say “Hi” or “Hello” for more informal emails. If you’re messaging a fellow colleague or work friend, consider starting the email with a slightly more informal salutation. Simply write “Hi” or “Hello” followed by their name and a comma. This is an acceptable way to be friendly while also remaining professional.^[11]
- Similarly, you can start an informal email with “Good morning,” “Good evening,” or “Happy [day of the week].”
Start with a positive remark for informal exchanges. Pair your “Hi” or “Hello” greeting with a cordial comment that acknowledges that you hope your colleague is well. This is an excellent way to be positive and professional while also building rapport.^[12]
- “Hi, Cammie! I hope this email finds you well.”
- “Good morning, Peter. I hope your week is going well.”
- “Happy Monday, Emily! I hope you had a wonderful weekend.”
