How do you start a professional email?

By Zippia Team - Sep. 1, 2023

To start a professional email, use a common greeting like "dear" or "hello" followed by the recipient's name. If you know the recipient well, you can use their first name and if you don't know them, use Mr., Ms., etc. followed by their last name.

If their name isn't gendered, use their full name. If you're sending an email to an unknown recipient, try to make the greeting as descriptive as possible. For example, "Dear Software Developer Hiring Team" or "Dear ABC Inc. Customer Service Team."
