Ms. (pronounced miz) may be used for any woman whether married or single. Mrs. (pronounced misus) is used to refer to a married or formerly married (divorced or widowed) woman in order to specify her marital state. Etiquette does not require either term of address and it is best to use the term a specific woman prefers, if known. If her marital status is unknown then it is best to use Ms. rather than Miss or Mrs.

What is the correct way to say Dear Miss or Mrs in English?

The correct way to address someone in English is to use "Dear" followed by the appropriate title and their last name. If you know the person is unmarried, you can use "Miss," and if she is married or you are unsure, use "Mrs." For example, "Dear Miss Smith" or "Dear Mrs. Johnson." If the woman's marital status is unknown, "Ms." is a more neutral option, as in "Dear Ms. Taylor."
