I'd like to know whether someone could help me with writing titles such as Mr/Ms - my concern is, whether a fullstop (.) shall follow the title like - Mr. or Ms. - or whether that is not necessary and whether it is sufficient to write Mr or Ms. I saw both versions even in official business letters and would be curious which of those is correct. Thank you very much for your help.
In British English, the traditional rule is only to put the full-stop where the abbreviation does not end with the last letter of the word, so we would write:
Prof. Edwards
Mr Edwards
In American English, they generally use a full-stop anyway, so you will see both forms used. Id say use 'Mr' if you're writing to a Brit and 'Mr.' if you're writing to the US.

that sounds pretty reasonable, thank you very much for help.
