How would you change "Dear Mr. name" to reflect a number of males? I assume you cant add an "S", as that would make it female?

Anyone know how to start a letter to multiple men?

thanks

it was Messrs, thanks amish...



<< I don't understand your &quot;Dear Mr. name&quot; example...these mulitple men have the name last name? >>



my example was of a standard letter opening, &quot;dear mr. witty&quot;, etc. I just picked &quot;name&quot; as the sample last name. the two people to contact had different last names than each other.

I think he means:

Instead of
Dear Mr. White, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Leavey, and Mr. Fung,

Could he use one title to cover them all, like:

Dear Messrs. White, Johnson, Leavey, and Fung,.
