In summary.

How do you start a letter to a recruiter?

Use a generic salutation, such as Dear Hiring Manager, Dear Recruiting Manager or Dear Human Resources Professional. (Avoid To Whom It May Concern; it is antiquated.) Another option is to write Greetings, which is somewhat informal but polite.

Who do you address a cover letter to if you don’t have a name?

To address a cover letter without a name, use some variation of, “Dear Software Team Hiring Manager.” You can also use, “Dear Hiring Manager” if the addressee really is unknown. Remember that “To Whom It May Concern” is an old-fashioned salutation for cover letters.

What are good salutations for letters?

Is Ma am polite?

Madam (/ˈmædəm/), or madame (/ˈmædəm/ or /məˈdɑːm/), is a polite and formal form of address for women, often contracted to ma’am (pronounced /ˈmæm/ in American English and /ˈmɑːm/ in British English).

Why do we say ma am?

The origins of “ma’am” and “sir” are pretty self-explanatory. “Ma’am” comes from the more formal “madam,” a term of address once used for a married woman. “Sir,” besides being what folks called knights in merry old England, became a catch-all for addressing a gentleman.

Why do we use sir?

Sir is a formal English honorific address for men, derived from Sire in the High Middle Ages. Since the Late Modern era, “Sir” has been increasingly used also as a respectful way to address any commoners of a superior social status or military rank.

How do you pronounce ma am?

Back in the day, the word ma’am (when addressing the Queen) was always pronounced “marm”. British TV shows from before the 80s confirm this. In the movie The Queen, we are told that the correct pronunciation for ma’am is “ma’am” as in “ham”, and not “ma’am” as in “farm”.

Is Ma am a sign of respect?

In theory, ma’am is a courtesy term, meant to convey respect and graciousness lightly salted with deference. Yet much evidence suggests that when it comes to fomenting a sense of good will ma’am fails even more spectacularly than “Have a nice day.”

Where does sir and ma’am come from?

The use of the word “sir” dates back to the 1200s. It was originally “sire,” a title of respect for all men. In the 1300s, “ma’am” became a contraction of the word “madam.” The word madam came from an Anglo-French reference for “ma dame,” which was the literal translation for the term “my lady.”
