Dear Daerr
Thank you. I am enjoying the course a lot. Please, I would like to ask you about a doubt. When I have to send a email for a group of people, who are men and women is it correct say: “Dear Sir and Madam”?
Thank you very muc
It depends on the relationship you have with the recipients of that email. Dear sirs and madams is very formal and I would prefer ‘Dear XY Team’. For example, if the people you are writing to work for T-Mobile, I would write ‘Dear T-Mobile Team’.
Hope this helps,

Thank you again Torsten. But, I am still in doubt. Here in my country when we have a situation like this we say only Dear Sirs. But I have heard the same is not useful in english. I think I could use your suggestion, if I am writing to people who works for a specific company, but in my case I am writing to people from three or four different companies. So, in this case what is appropriated? Thanks
Hi Hilton,
If they are not members of the same company and it is really impossible to give each person a copy with their own name ‘Dear Mr such-and such’ or ‘Dear Mrs so-and-so’ then you can address it
“Dear Sir or Madam”
