Dear Who?


So yesterday I got a reply to my application to be a peer tutor - very prompt of him, really. In his email, the peer tutoring coordinator asked me to choose one of the listed time slots to set up an interview. Hence I needed to reply.

The two rules I have learned about replying to official letters are the following:

1, Address your correspondent the way he addressed you, and
2, Refer to your correspondent by the name with which he signed the letter.

Well, great. Easy as pie. Until I looked at the letter again.

Dear Stephanie,
Thank you for your application, etc., etc.
John
