Email salutation.

[derebowen]

Could someone please tell me what would be correct,

Good morning, John

Good morning John,

Good Morning, John,

Good morning John.

Would like some unput. I know email is still a little different when it comes to correctness.

Thanks

Derek

I rarely use "good morning" or "good afternoon" in e-mail. Just because I'm writing it then doesn't mean it will be read then (and if I'm writing it to a colleague in India, it's already evening!).

I tend to do this:
Hi John,

Hello all,

Greetings, ladies!

Rick,

Ms. Smith,

However, if I did want to use a "good morning" salutation, I would not bother with the comma before the person's name in e-mail.

Note that I'm in the US and customs here are almost certainly different than they are in other parts of the world.

If I was to use any, then Good morning, John.
