Dear all, you will laugh, but to cut a long story short ... :DQuote:

I'm not sure how to write it in Russian, I'm sorry, My native language is English, and I'm only just learning the great russian language.
Okay. I can give you some advice but I need more information. Don't give the correct details if they are personal but, at least, something similar. You will be writing for a purpose, you want to achieve something - what is the purpose of the letter? Would it be better to first find out the name of somebody that you should write to, rather than, 'To whom it may concern', which is perfect in some circumstances. You want to write in English but is the intended recipient likely to be a native English speaker? Is it an American or English company etc etc. Let us know more about the context and perhaps we can make some suggestions. :thumbup:Quote:

If all you want to do is 'cover the bases', it's perfect.Quote:

I'd go with Dear Bitches, but that's my style.
Ever the charmer.
