What form of address do I use in French to write to a nun - e.g. Chere Soeur + full name?

Question

This is for a job application, so it needs to be formal and accurate.

Answer 1

To be formal, you should write :

Ma sœur,


Less formal, you can write :
Chère Sœur + nun name

You should use her nun name only. Don't use her family name.
ie:
Chère Sœur Emmanuelle,

Answer 2

Hi,

Ma soeur,

or if you are certain that this nun is the mother superior you could also adress as

Madame la supérieure,

gnap gnap has it right, just wanted to add this.

Good luck with your job.

Answer 3

If she is "Sr.X", i. e. not the superior of a congregation, I think "Chere Soeur X" would be in order. Or you could say, even more formally "Ma soeur" but without any name. If she is a superior you should say "Reverende Mere=Reverend Mother"

Answer 4

Ma soeur,

Le père X m'a fait part de votre intention de rechercher etc.

[...]

Veuillez recevoir, Ma Soeur, mes meilleures salutations.

Signature

Answer 5

You must to write: Soeur + full name.

Good luck for your job!

Answer 6

You say, "Ma soeur" which means "my sister." But that is the correct form of address.
