Answer:
Salutation
Explanation:
People often write to me asking for help with salutations. But when I read their questions, I find that they deal with "Best regards" or "Sincerely yours." Those are complimentary closes.
Let's look at the differences.
A salutation is a greeting we use at the beginning of an email, a letter, or a note. Even a text or an online comment can begin with a salutation.
In a letter, salutations nearly always begin with "Dear":
Dear Rosalie,
(We use a comma after the greeting in a personal letter in the U.S. and Canada. In other countries the punctuation is often omitted.)
Dear Dr. Gomez:
(We use a colon after the greeting in a business letter in the U.S. and Canada. Other countries often leave it out.)
Salutations in emails can begin with "Dear" if the message is formal. Otherwise, they are more likely to be one of these:
Hi Jeff,
Hello Professor,
Hello to all,
Greetings, everybody!
