Definition: A salutation is the greeting you include at the beginning of a cover letter. Include the employer's personal title and full name in the salutation (i.e. "Dear Mr. James Franklin").
If you are unsure of who will be reading your cover letter, address the letter "Dear Hiring Manager."
If you are unsure of the reader's gender, simply state their full name and avoid the personal title (i.e. "Dear Jamie Smith"). Leave one blank after the salutation.
