What is salutation?

Salutation is a greeting expressed in written or spoken communication, usually at the beginning of a letter or email. It is a way to address the person you are communicating with in a polite and respectful manner. There are different types of salutations that can be used depending on the level of formality and the relationship between the parties involved, such as "Dear," "Hello," "Hi," "Good morning/afternoon/evening," and "Greetings." In professional settings, it is important to use appropriate salutations based on the context of the communication and the customs of the organization or culture.
