Writing a letter to a family in Almaty
I'm going to be in Almaty this summer and I will be writing a letter in Russian to the host family with whom I will be staying.
However I don't know how I should be addressing the family (we don't yet know who the people are by name or any other information about them...just that they live in Almaty). Should I say something like "Dorogaya sem'ya", "Uvazhaemaya sem'ya"?

Are you sure they know Russian?

Imho, "Здравстуйте" is enough for the beginning.
