- Oh, that's for writing to someone in the UK, and I want to use their usage/ etiquette, in case it may be different.
Thanks!

The question, quite clearly, asks about the use of a persons title in the address. The address is usually on the envelope and the header of the letter. Dear Sir/Madam, is generally conceived to be the beginning of the subject of the letter. If you know the name of the person you are writing to as well as his job title it is good manners to use both his name and job title. It sounds more personal and friendly. If you use the person's name it is good manners to give him/her the correct title.To mom of 3, whilst what you say may well be the case in America, I think you will find business correspondence in Britain is a little more formal.

I was a receptionist and I never mentioned a title. It would typically be written like this...
