Hi,

Please let me know how long you will take.

I'd appreciate it if you could let me know how long this will take. (more polite version)

Did you send this email to Tom? If so, what did he reply?

Actually, when you are writing a formal letter never use a comma after addressing who the letter is to. The proper puncuation is a colon (:), not a comma.


Example
"Dear whom it may concern:"

Hi,

Actually, when you are writing a formal letter never use a comma after addressing who the letter is to. The proper puncuation is a colon (:), not a comma. I see nothing at all wrong with a comma.


Example
"Dear whom it may concern:" I suggest that you search for and read the various threads here that deal with 'To whom it may concern'. Many learners on the Forum do not realize in what circumstances and how seldomly this phrase is to be used.

The appropriate greeting if you are writing to a person whose name you do not know is as follows

Dear Sir

Dear Madam

Dear Sir or Madam.

 

Best wishes, Clive
