If it's only to give your Paypal details for the 2nd hand knickers you bought on Ebay then I don't think the nature of the response is that crucial tbh.

I would put "Dear Lady Sara"

You could reply 'Look Colin - I know it is you, and no I won't meet you in any carparks'
Report sibaroni • January 22, 2010 1:27 PM GMT
The correct answer is Dear Smith, fwiw. Not very nice though.

Is she from Nigeria?
Report TheCoat • January 22, 2010 1:41 PM GMT
You are all wrong. It depends on whether it is an honory title,or an inherited one, and whether she is the wife of the title holder or the actual title holder.

Look at the way she has addressed you (Dear ????) and respond in similar vein.

not at all, a bona-fide enquiry, i thankfully changed her name to protect the innocent

What did she enquire about, crescit?
Report crescit • January 22, 2010 3:01 PM GMT
i initiated the correspondence on behalf of a friend making an application, was a little surprised to receive a response from a "real" Lady, so naturally wanted to respond as a gentleman would..
