You wouldn’t start off an e-mail with “My Dear X”, or “Dearest X”, since that would be too personal for a professional email, so “To X” being more impersonal seems like it would make the letter more professional-sounding, compared to “Dear X”.

    I always start with any of these:

    • Hi, [line break before continuing]
    • Hello, [line break before continuing]
    • Hi [name of the recipient and then line break]
    • Hello [name of the recipient and then line break]

    I sometimes end up with something like “I hope you have a nice day”.
