Since when do we write like this?

If you are frequently addressed with "Dear/Ms./Mr…." in emails, would it be legitimate or okay to write that you would like to be addressed with "Good day… Hello… or Dear Sir/Madam"?

Of course, you can mention this in your emails if you prefer a loose touch. However, it depends on the context.

Automated and prefabricated emails or Documents where you just have to adjust the name quickly can be adjusted rather badly. And in an application process, I do not manage a loose handling to fit.

Personally, I don’t write anything in at all and if only the most necessary. The whole buck with “Good morning” and “MfG” is pure waste of time. Anybody ever read that? I only use the formal language or the detailed speeches for special and important purposes.

The address with “Hello” is gender-neutral.

In addition, it is less formal and more direct as the surpassed address with “love/love …”

In the past, it was even more important that certain hierarchies were also observed, it was uncommon to use the “you” and was often regarded as rude. Today it is more common to communicate on a level.

It used to be quite normal. It’s a formal address, even though it’s more old-fashioned today.

This must also be done by communicating not so much today about letters but rather about social media.

The e-mail address has evolved over time, and there is actually no fixed rule on how to appeal to someone. A lot depends on the relationship with the recipient and the context of the message.

If you feel uncomfortable about being addressed with “love/love”, it is absolutely legitimate to share this politely and kindly.
