I'm pretty clueless about email communication, especially if it's with a professor, employer, prospective employer, etc.
Got an email from a medical center wanting to set up an interview after reviewing my app/resume (  ). If he introduces himself as "John Smith" and addresses the email as "Dear Melissa," do I write:QUOTE Dear John, I'll be available for an interview on ____ before ___pm. Thanks, Melissa or QUOTE Hi John! I'll be available for an interview etc etc etc. Thanks, Melissa or QUOTE Dear Mr. Smith, I'll be available for interview etc etc. Thanks, Melissa And should I write more in the body paragraph? Like "I look forward to speaking with you" or "Thanks for your interest" or w/e? yeah, I really, really, really want this position and I'm freaking out a little bit. |

lol yeah, the name is too common and the website only has the name of the board directors, etc, and he's the chief trainer.
anyways, figured it out by looking at the email head >.< his full name is "alexander" so i'm guessing he is male ^_^ |
