what is the antonym of salutation
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.

The part known as the greeting in a traditional letter is called the salutation. It typically begins with "Dear" followed by the recipient's name or title, such as "Dear Mr. Smith" or "Dear Aunt Jane."
