you spelled ma'am wrong stupid
The correct salutation in a letter in which you don't know the woman's name is:
Dear Madam:
"Ma'am" isn't a proper English word according to the Oxford English Dictionary (OCD); it is however a British derivation of Madam used by household servants in large estates and manor houses, as it's easier and faster to say when the Lady of the House asks the servants to do something, they quickly reply, "Yes, Ma'am, right away!" and quickly disappear from sight. The extra syllable means an additional delay in the presence of the household member(s), which is to be as limited as possible, except for the Chamberlain, the Madam's Lady-in-Waiting and the Butler.
Madam
In general it can. Ma'am and Mam in this case are contractions of the honorific word madam
Ma'am or more correctly Madam or in the French original Madame
Ma'am. It's short for madam.
It is spelled as " ma'am " , which is a shortened form of 'madam'.
The actual word is Ma'am. The second version should be Thank you Madam (Ma'am is the shortened version of Madam). The actual word is Mom. The second version should be Thank you Mother (Mom is the shortened version of Mother).
madam or mam
"Mam" is not a word in English. The word you are thinking of is "Ma'am," which is short for "Madam." In the U.S. we use "Ma'am" primarily in speech. When you are talking to a lady, it is polite to use "Ma'am," especially in the South of the U.S. In writing a letter, "Madam" is formal and polite. If you are writing to a woman who is in an official position (e.g., a government official), you could start a letter with "Dear Madam." If you are writing to someone in a professional position and you are not sure if it is a man or a woman, you can say "Dear Sir or Madam." If you are addressing a group of people, the salutation is: Ladies: Gentlemen: Ladies and/or Gentlemen: (The word "Dear" is dropped.)
Ma'am, Madam Sis, if your sister is a lady -- Oh ho! if she isn't Mom, if your mom is a lady.
The word "mam" does not seem to exist in the English language. If you are referring to the word ma'am (as in Yes ma'am), it is simply a shortened version of the word "madam".
ma'am (it is madam with an apostrophe to indicate the omitted sound).also maam, 1660s, colloquial shortening of madam (q.v.). Formerly the ordinary respectful form of address to a married woman; later restricted to the queen, royal princesses, or by servants to their mistresses.
Ma'am or more correctly Madam or in the French original Madame
