[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 73676, member: 2672"] “Dear First Name” is most appropriate for your first bit of correspondence with an individual. In the UK, sending an email to Dear Madam, or Dear Mrs Booker is very formal for UK standards. You also risk getting the Prefix wrong - I could be Miss/Ms/Dr etc. So first name is sufficient and the safest bet. Always go for the full first name though. Just to play safe, I wouldn't assume someone was a Jo/Joe if there name was Joanne or Joseph. Once the person has replied to you, you can just respond with their same approach they have taken in their correspondence back to you (eg mirror their Dear/Hi and first name/full name/Prefix Surname format and I just the first name, you can use the format they use in their signature/sign off).
