I'm gonna write to my American friend and a question has come up. When writing the name the address you send to, do you write something in front of his/her name? I mean do I have to write Mr., Mrs. Ms. or Miss, like "Mr. _____?"

If it's a friend you're writing to, you probably don't need to bother putting a title in front of their name. It's more informal that way. I never do. The letter will still get to them, that won't make any difference.

Formal:

Mr. & Mrs. Tom Smith
Ms. Jones & Mr. Jackson

Not so formal & totally acceptable:

Tom & Mary Smith

Susan Jones & John Jackson
or
Susan Jones
John Jackson

Businesses generally use the later as it is an easier way to get name information out of a computer. You also don't have to be concerned about not getting it correct (ex. does Mrs. Smith like to be called Ms. or Mrs.).

On the letter it's self you write 'Dear (what ever your friends first name is). You put their title (Mr, Mrs, Miss, Rev etc) if you know it on the envelope.

that would be very formal. Intials are written only in formal official letters. Friendship letter would not be friendly using such words.
