Starting an Email

When starting an email, it is important to consider the formality and choose an appropriate greeting. 'Hello' or 'Dear' followed by the recipient's name are common options. However, be cautious with using 'high' as it may appear too informal for certain contexts. Choose a greeting that matches the level of formality required.
