Correct way to begin this email?

Question

I'm sending an email about a volunteer position, and the email is Mike@(site).com. His last name isn't anywhere on the site, and I'm confused as to how to start the email. I was thinking a Hello or something, but it seems to casual. (I'm a teenager, and he's an adult, or so I assume.) Anyone know the correct way to go about this?

Answer 1

does he have a title? Dear Volunteer Coordinator?.....or you could try calling the office and asking the receptionist....as you should personalize any correspondence that you want to send.....just tell the receptionist why you want the info

Answer 2

Hello Sir, My name is_____.

Answer 3

Call the organization and ask the receptionist.

Answer 4
