I don't know whether my email recepient is married or not and I need to know what should I write on the head of my email. No more Madam because it is not so friendly and the given name is not a good idea. So please tell me Dear WHAT?

Because you don't know if she's married or not, go with Ms.

Ms. is definitely the way to go.
Miss implies a young woman that is unmarried and Mrs. implies a married woman. With Ms., you are riding down the middle and it can be interpreted either way.

I used to wonder the same thing , myself. Keep asking questions like this, it is mind-changing for anyone who thinks about the gospel stories. For example, why did Jesus tell his first few healing miracle patients "Tell no man I have done this." ? How could a guy whose sight was restored from being blind, NOT tell anyone how it happened? There's a lot of this "everyday unrealistic events", in the Bible. You don't have to question the miracles like walking on water. Just look at the basic, everyday world, and you see it was written by people who were 'inspired' by schizophrenia!

You can start with " Hi " or "Good Morning" or Ms because even if she is married will not mind' as women like to show herself younger ever

Always go with Ms. for every woman. Especially if you don't know her status & also it is a polite way to find out (in person) if she is married.

Dear Ms. ...
You can't go wrong with this one - but you would be wrong to address her as Mrs. if she is not married.

I'm a traditionalist on most matters, but 'Ms.' really solved a lot of problems

Ms. seems to be the safest way to go. I think you'll get fewer corrections with Ms. and the attempt to avoid a mistake seems appreciated, by and large.

I would say Ms. then. If they get offended, you know you didn't offend on purpose.

Ms. is a good catch-all.
