minus-squareHupf@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-27 days agoHow do you even start? I’m regularly stumbling on the form of address for unfamiliar people in a business context, especially when it’s hard to infer their gender by name. Dear Sir or Madam To whom it may concern Hello <given name>
