Question
What do you call the beginning of a letter?

Answers

I have always heard the "Sincerely, xxxx" part of a letter called the closing. (And the part you describe as the greeting ("Dear Mr. yyyy") I'm used to calling the salutation.) It's called a valediction or a complimentary close. The opening phrase is called a salutation.   Your Comment
