When it comes to greetings and commas, there is one general rule that you should follow: place the comma after the greeting but before a person's name. Regardless of what your greeting is, this rule will usually guide you to success.
The Salutation The salutation (or greeting) in a business letter is always formal. It often begins with “Dear {Person's name}.” Once again, be sure to include the person's title if you know it (such as Ms., Mrs., Mr., or Dr). If you're unsure about the person's title or gender then just use their first name.
The standard format is the same: the word “Dear” followed by the person's name, as in “Dear Mr. Lestrade,” using title capitalization. However, informal letters provide more freedom when it comes to what you say in your greeting, and it's not uncommon to see casual greetings like, “Hi Name,” or “Hello Name.”
