Not the entire word just "S" in sir and "M" in madame
example:
Dear Sir, or Dear Madame
In using Dear Sir, Dear Madam, or Dear Ms., Sir or Madam or Ms. stands in place of the person's real last name. So, yes, both are capitalized. However, this is just for business letters.Exemptions:"Dear sir," I said, "do not correct my grammar!""Dear sir, let me get the door for you."
It is capitalized when it is a title, meaning it comes before a name, but not as a pronoun, where it takes the place of a name. For example in Sir Elton John the Sir is capitalized, but in the sentence, "Hello sir," the sir would not be capitalized.
In English, the word "sir" is not capitalized when used before someone's name as a form of address. It only capitalizes when directly addressing someone as "Sir" without a name following it.
No, the word "dear" is not capitalized in the sentence "I'm home dear."
Dear Sir was created in 1995-10.

Ministers are usually just addressed as "Dear Sir" or "Dear Madame," and some people write "Dear Minister" In the past, it was not uncommon to address them a bit more formally, however, today most letters follow the format noted above.
Plural of "madam" is "madames". (same root as the English styling "Dame", the equivalent of the formal honorific "Sir". ) "Madam" is shortened with an apostophe in conversational usage, as "ma'am".
chère madame is spelled 'dear madam' in English.
