Email conversation convention
So basically, how do you start your emails in a conversation? Dear John, Hi John, Hello John, John, Dear Mr. Smith, etc? Also when you have a long back and forth email convo, do you stick with the same thing every time you respond, or do you change it up? For example, the first email would start with "Dear John," and the second one you would use "Hi John,"
Or, after the first email and response, do you take out the "Dear John" and just go straight to the email?
Just curious what everyone else uses.
Dear John letters are bad
i use
"what's gucci my banka? just wanted 2 shout out 2 a baller and see whats poppin. hollatchboi. -your royal swagness"
I use first name if I know it's an analyst/associate. For anyone above, I go with Mr. ___
Curious about this as well.
Dear Mr./Ms. ______ on first email to be polite. After that, you can address them by their first name.
The thing I've heard about using Mr./Ms. is that it seems more formal, and that it makes a cold email "warmer" by using their first name. As long as you maintain a polite tone, using first names even for higher ups would work?
No one actually gives a fuck. Have a normal conversation like you would write to a family acquaintance. Just don't get over familiar and ask them what color panties they're wearing.
I've never said Dear So and So in any e-mail.
If I don't know someone I'll start it off with Mr./Mrs./Ms./whatever. My opening is always: By way of introduction, my name is ______; I am a junior at university. I feel like that flows well.
If you're e-mailing a black banker or swagon throw a "su woo" in there at the end, they'll know what you mean. Guaranteed job.
Go to the hood and throw a "su woo."
Record. Upload to YouTube.
Gotta be more specific cuhz, you forgot to say you need a partner to record and upload because you will probably get shot the fuck down for throwing out a su woo
Hi (first name),
is the way to go
Hi, -.-!
You are being considered for a position in HR due to your bubbly personality. Have a great day!!!

Alright since shit was thrown when I tried to be humorous, the actual answer is that it doesn't fucking matter. Additionally once the correspondence has initiated, obviously you don't say "Dear John" every single time.
My honest advice on how to address letters would be just with their name:
Jack,
My name is jgx101 and I am a junior finance major at X University, currently interning with XYZ company. In talking with Kid Cudi, he mentioned that you would be a great person to contact with respect to (whatever you want to talk about). I would love to chat with you if you have availability in the near future. My resume is attached for your reference and I look forward to being in touch.
Best, - jgx101
