according to Whittakers Almanac, on the envelope should be Dame forename surname, and a formal letter should start Dear Madam, but a social letter should start Dear Dame forename...the letter should end Yours Sincerely...Yours Faithfully should only be used to someone you are personally involved with, a friend, relative, boss etc
