Dear Sir/Madam:
To address a letter to a Consulate General, you should use the following format:
Consulate General of [Country] [Street Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear Consulate General, [or Dear Sir/Madam, if you don't have a specific name]
Remember to include your own contact information and address at the top-left corner of the letter.
First you need to make sure that you have permission to do this. Then show your thanks in the letter.
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
* Proper address for a General and his wife: General & Mrs. John Smith.
Chers Monsieur et Madame Consulat Général,
What is the proper etiquette to addressing a Reverend in a letter?
Lahore
The proper form of address to a Consul General is "Consul General [Last Name]." It is respectful to address them with their title followed by their last name when speaking or writing to them.
The proper salutation for a retired General is "General (Retired)" or "General Smith (Retired)" when addressing them formally.
Begin with "Dear sirs".
The proper way to address a business letter to two people is to include the titles of both recipients. An example of this would be, "Dear Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
The proper way to address that letter would be "Mr. and Mrs. John Doe."
There is a great deal of confusion as to how to address a letter to an assembly woman in office. The proper salutation would be Dear Honorable and then their name.
