I do this but after the name of the recipient I drop a semicolon
Comment on Why is "Dear X" considered more formal than "To X" in e-mail/writing?
lud@lemm.ee 2 months agoI always start with any of these:
- Hi, [line break before continuing]
- Hello, [line break before continuing]
- Hi [name of the recipient and then line break]
- Hello [name of the recipient and then line break]
I sometimes end up with something like “I hope you have a nice day”.

At every single company I’ve worked for this has been the accepted form of opening an email. There are hardly any circumstances you should be using “Dear (insert name here),” in a work email.
