Someone please help clarify a discrepancy I have been having with a coworker.

When writing business emails, is it correct to use the greeting “Good Day” (with the “D” capitalized) or “Good day” (with a lowercase “d”)?

Any advice on this topic would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you!

It depends on where you place it. If it's part of the subject, then you may capitalize it. If it's in the body of the letter, then it's better to use a lowercase "d". "Good day" is written just like "good morning, good afternoon, and good evening".

Thanks for the reply!

Actually, it’s the salutation/greeting, so it’s neither part of the subject or the body.

What is the correct, colloquial style for today’s business communications? Is it “Good Day, ……” or “Good day, ……”

Thank you!
