When I write to entities, I like to be as friendly as possible.

So my salutations are of the form:

Dear International Business Machines, Incorporated:
Dear University of California, Berkeley campus:

etc.

Except sometimes I'm not very happy with them:

Dear Company:
Dear Bank:

etc.

That'll show them.
