You may initially address him/her as "Dear Lieutenant Colonel Firstname Lastname" with all following addresses as "Colonel Lastname" or just "Colonel." It is improper to address him/her only as "Lieutenant Colonel" or repeatedly "Lieutenant Colonel Lastname," as it is vaguely insulting, emphasizing a junior rank to a "Full" Colonel. Basically, when you get to that level, you are essentially operating as a general in waiting.
Similar courtesies apply to the higher ranked enlisted people except you need to make certain to emphasize the upper end of the rank. For instance, a Navy Master Chief should be called a "Master Chief." His/her charges may use "Chief" casually.
