What salutations to use in a letter to the admissions committee?

<p>How do I start and end a letter to an admissions committee?</p>

<p>Dear Admissions Committee? (lol)
To whom it may concern?
What is the proper salutation?</p>

<p>Sincerely?
Regards?
What is the proper opposite-of-salutation-that-goes-at-the-end-of-the-letter?</p>

<p>And if it matters, it's actually an email, not a <em>letter</em></p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Dear Admissions,</p>

<p>I LOVE YOU ALL JUST ACCEPT ME PLEASE! NOOO!</p>

<p>Thank you for blah-blah-la-la-laaaaa</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Yeah-You-Know-Me!</p>

<hr>

<p>That’s how I do it.</p>

<p>I just put Dear Office of Undergraduate Admissions,</p>

<p>Sincerely</p>

<p>“YO WAZZUP DOG”</p>

<p>On second thought, what lyl926 said will suffice.</p>

<p>I will **** your **** if you let me in!!!</p>

<p>Those are actual Stars I put them I did not write actual words!</p>

<p>Why are you writing this letter? How you address it may depend on your reason.</p>

<p>“To whom it may concern” is fine. You might be able to not use a salutation, and just start in on your letter. I did that with my gc letter (we homeschool) - “It is my pleasure to recommend …” My d was accepted at every school where she applied.</p>

<p>The end of the letter is called the closing and “sincerely” works fine there.</p>

<p>I use Dear Sir or Madam and end with sincerely ><</p>

<p>I always end with Sincerely.</p>

<p>Sometimes if I know the name, I just do with “Mr/Ms/Mrs _______,” with no dears. If I don’t know the name, I usually go with “Dear Sir or Madam,” which is what my teachers use in recommendations, because “To whom it may concern” sounds too distant.</p>

<p>Dear Admissions if you don’t know the name. You’re not really writing to the whole committee unless you’re really addressing them.</p>

<p>Always end with Sincerely.</p>

<p>Followed by your name.</p>

<p>Don’t know why Secret Asian Man didn’t approve of this.</p>
