When you begin a letter in English, you always put "Dear" before the name of the person you are writing to. If it is a friend of your own age, you just put their first name after "Dear", but for adults you do not know very well, it is more polite to put Mr, Mrs or Miss before their family name. If you do not know whether the woman is married or not, you should use Ms instead of Mrs or Miss. When you write an official letter to someone whose name you do not know, you begin with "Dear Sir or Madam".
There are variousphrases you can use at the end of a letter before you sign your own name. For friends and relatives you can put "With love from" or just "Love". For people you know less well "Best wishes" or "Kindest regards" may be more appropriate (合适的). At the end of an official letter you use "Yours sincerely" if you know the person's name and "Yours faithfully" if you do not.
When you address the envelope, be sure to include the postcode, so that the letter will be delivered (递送) as quickly as possible. Finally, do not forget to stick a stamp on the front!
