If you not had any written communication before, I would suggest this format: Admissions Officer University of the Skies Skyland [zipcode, country] [date] Dear Sir or Madam
When writing a recommendation letter, you should use the salutation "Dear Recipient's Name" to address the person you are recommending.
Receiver's address date subject salutation content signature
A business letter's salutation should be followed by a colon. For example, "Dear Mr. Smith:" or "To Whom It May Concern:".

what is the antonym of salutation
Dear Father, Dear Reverend Father or Most Reverend Father
If you are writing on an envelope, your name appears as the return address. In a business letter, your name and address would appear above the addressee's followed by a salutation and the letter text.
The salutation used for the envelope address can be either Dr. John Smith and Dr. Jane Smith, or Drs. John and Jane Smith. If you are writing a letter to both doctors, then he greeting in your letter can be Dear Drs. Smith.
You would normally capitalize nouns in the salutation, Dear Residents: (but this is not a significant aspect of the letter and is often ignored). If you use a longer salutation, such as "My dear Neighbors," the word dear would not be capitalized.
No a greeting. A salutation is what you write at the end of a letter.
After the salutation of a business letter, the correct punctuation to use is a colon.
Dear Mr. President is a salutation of a business letter. The salutation goes at the beginning, thus that's how you got Dear.
