Salutation for a current Ambassador is His or Her Excellency. Also Ambassador and last name of and country. I believe that since former military and President and Senators etc.....retain their title....Like President Carter.....and military usually has Ret. after the last name I think as a salutation on an Envelope it would be His Excellany John A. Gavin, Ret.
Dear Mrs Ambassador..

His Excellency, Ambassador of ................... This salutation can be used when writing to the Forein ambassadors of all countries.
What is the proper salutation for a register of wills, e.g. Honorable John White?
the correct salutation for two men is Messrs
The highest office in a Consulate is a Consul, the highest office in a Consulate-General is a Consul General, and the highest office in an Embassy is an Ambassador. You would address the letter as: The Honorable John Smith, Consul Consulate of "conventional long form of whatever country" Street address City, State, zip In the letter however, the salutation would simply be Dear Mr., Mrs., Miss, or Ms., the same goes for a Consul General A foreign Ambassador would be: His (or Her) Excellency John Smith Ambassador of "conventional long form of whatever country" Street address City, State, zip The salutation for an ambassador would be either Excellency, or Dear Mr. (or Madam) Ambassador
Hello.
