Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The salutation (or greeting) in a business letter is always formal. It often begins with “Dear Person’s name.” Once again, be sure to include the person’s title if you know it (such as Ms., Mrs., Mr., or Dr).

Detailed explanation-2: -The most formal salutation is Dear, [title], then the last name. If you’re unsure of the person’s pronouns, it’s a good idea to use Dear [First and last name] or Dear [First name]. When you don’t know the recipient’s name, you can use Hello or Greetings.

Detailed explanation-3: -Formal Letter Salutations Greetings (or Good Morning, Good Afternoon): Consider these options as a slightly more formal version of “Hello” and “Hi.” They’re appropriate for formal written or printed letters and emails to people you don’t know (or only know on a casual basis).

Detailed explanation-4: -Hi [Name], This is the most basic, yet formal greeting option for businesses. It instantly addresses the recipient by name in a formal tone and gets right into the message. A greeting like this performs best for shorter messages as the brief introduction sets the expectation of a brief message for the recipient.

Detailed explanation-5: -The salutation is a greeting. Its placement belongs two spaces below the inside address and always justified to the left margin of the letter. It should include the title and full name of the recipient, followed by a colon.
