What if you do not know the name of the person receiving the e-mail?

Most of the e-mails sent back and forth between the departments where I work begin with:

"Hi,

Could you please provide....etc"

because it is not know if they are being sent to a group or an individual.

And "To whom it may concern" seems wrong since we send them to the same group(s) every day.

@tycoonassassin If you want to begin with an informal "hi," it should look like this:

Hi.

Could you please provide....

Thank God for posting this video. I hope all the young people watch this. There's still hope.

Fantastic video!

I have always begun emails with "Hi, John, I'm leaving you." It always felt awkward. I should have gone with my instincts and dropped the second comma. Thanks.

Thanks for another informative video.

My personal favorite and pet peeve for email greeting punctuation is three exclamation marks,

Hi John!!!
