How do I address two people (women) in the same letter for professional purposes?
It's actually quite simple and obvious:-For the attention of:1. [Recipient 1]2. [Recipient 2]Dear Mr Jones and Mrs SmithRegarding the matter etc...Mr Jones, I suggest you prepare the etc.Mrs Smith, you should assist Mr Brown in etc.I thank you both to the extent possible etc.Yours sincerelyA.N. OtherSince you're addressing the letter to two different people on the same matter, that is the opener you use and you don't "c.c." (which is for distribution to other parties for reference). You simply make two copies and send one each to Mr Jones and Mrs Smith.This is the stuff covered in all secretarial courses since heaven knows when.Updated minutes ago to add:There's actually nothing terribly "formal" about business letters. Most times business letters tend to require a somewhat formal tone for professional image. Secretarial courses train people in the formal-sounding stuff first, so that once they get the hang of formal things, then they'll know how to set things up for other purposes.
When having a professional email conversation, is it proper etiquette to start each email with "Hello" despite already saying it in the starting email?
As previously sated it depends a lot on the level of the discussion and always, the kind of person(ality) your're writing to.This a question we all have when we're dealing with a new interlocutor (internal or external stakeholder). What I use to do is to follow the standard business etiquette and little by little drooping a more informal word and checking if there's a return or openness on the way we interact. Its like testing the water.Like going from "Dear Mr X" to "Good morning Mr X" to "Hello Mr X, hope you're doing well", just as examples. the goodbye part can also be used as a test.Bottom line is to see how's the reaction from the other side, to see if we can move from a formal relation to a more informal.In doubt, one can also wait for signs from the other side to follow their steps.As it seems the other part already said "hello" and that's a kite open and friendly greeting, you can indeed use it one more time (in this case I would dare to say "hello again", otherwise "Hi X".Never ever had any issues following this trend or approachCheers
What to do about MRS Associates' (collection agency) repeated harassment?
Hi, You have the USPS receipt now do you have phone records that show they called you after that? If you don't have then handy call phone company and get that information showing all the calls. After that letter received you can get up to 1k per call for damages. Is this debt a credit card if it is CA has a 2 year sol on that. MRS has been sued plenty of times for behavior like this, you should have a attorney represent you during this process. Google FDPCA attorneys and find ones that practices in CA. Guess what MRS is on that list as they are being sued by a consumer. http://mnd.uscourts.gov/ncs/caselist.html Haugen v. MRS associates. I am sure there are more in other states, but I do see them frequently on MN here is a link for you to look up! This is the cases filed in federal court in MN
Can an email address have capital letters?
An email address is made of very two different parts. Basically, the part after the AT sign tells the Internet which email server contains your mailbox and thus should receive the email. The part before tells that server whose mailbox is addressed — which user is supposed to get the message.The the part after the AT sign, called the domain name, is case insensitive everywhere on the Internet. That is, on the web there can be no difference between http://www.google.com/whatever and http://WWW.GOOGLE.COM/whatever; in FTP, there can be no difference between ftp://ftp.somerepository.com and ftp://FTP.SOMEREPOSITORY.COM; and thus with emails there can be no difference whatsoever between myaddress@mydomain.com and myaddress@MYDOMAIN.COM.For this reason, the first part of the answer is straightforward: an email address can have uppercase letters in its domain part and they do not count.For the first part of the address the questions is slightly more complicated. There have been many revisions over the decades to the specific protocol (called an RFC in Internet-speak; basically, a set of rules which everybody must respect for interoperability). The latest core version is RFC 5322 but that is supplemented by many other protocols such as RFC 6854. There is a protocol which explains how email is forwarded (thats the SMTP pane in the preferences of your email software). The latest version, RFC 5336, says that the first part of the address may be case sensitive, but the previous version of the same, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, said that it better not.exploiting the case sensitivity of mailbox local-parts impedes interoperability and is discouragedSo, there might exist on the Internet some mail server which contains two different mailboxes, one called myaddress@mydomain.com and the other called MyAddress@mydomain.com. Such cases, if they exist, are rare. I checked, and Google’s Gmail is case insensitive in addresses. Postfix, which is the most used such software under Linux, is case insensitive. Et cetera. As others have said, thus, email addresses are best considered case insensitive.So, the fast and easy answer to your question is: you can use uppercase letters but there’s a 99.99% chance that they make no difference whatsoever.[Edited Jan 10th 2018; thanks to Philip Newton for pointing out that my first answer was way too simplified].
What is the probability of getting a license plate that has a repeated ?
I'm assuming for the sake of this problem that all 26 letters and all 10 digits may be used. In real life, they often restrict the use of O, 0, I, 1 and sometimes 2 and Z to avoid confusion. The total number of possible plates is 26^3 * 10^3 = 17,576,000. The total number of plates with no repeated letters or digits is 26 * 25 * 24 * 10 * 9 * 8 = 11,232,000. The total number with repeats is the difference, 6,344,000. The probability is then 6344000 / 17576000 = 61/169 ≈ 0.361.
I just recieved a letter from Financial Recovery Services trying to collect on a debt that ....?
Hi Ralelen - FRS is well known for purchasing "junk debt" which is old debt that the original creditor has written off or no longer sees value in pursuing. First things first, send them a certified return-receipt letter asking for a validation of the debt. Do not sign anything that you send any debt collector; debt collectors have been known to forge documents using the signature you provide. By law, they have to follow the FDCPA - Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. They must show proof that the debt is valid. You said the debt was written off five years ago, but how old is the debt itself? If the debt is over 7 years old, they cannot legally report it to your credit report or make you pay it. Be careful what you say to FRS, though, as they will try and get you to agree that the debt is valid, thereby making it "current" and collectable even if it was older than 7 years. If they don't send the debt validation letter, which they often don't because they don't have any real documentation to prove it, you can then send them a cease and desist letter. By law, you can demand that they no longer contact you by phone and only send you one more letter. They will either ignore it, a violation of federal law, or possibly send it to another company and play the debt collection shell game. Keep accurate records of all your communication with them because if they violate the FDCPA you may be entitled to damages of $1000 per infraction. If you are allowed to in your state, record all of your phone conversations with them. If something does show up on your credit report and you know it to be false or old uncollectable debt, ask the credit reporting agencies to validate the debt, send another debt validation letter and see what happens. FRS uses repeated communications, intimidation and harassment in order to try and get you to give up in frustration and give them money. If you do decide to pay them anything, before you send them any money, make sure you have an agreement in writing that says they will remove this debt or any negative references from your credit report. If you don't, you will have no power to clean up any damage they have already done.

How can I send a message/e-mail from Gmail to a Facebook user?
Hi, Facebook emails can be used for forwarding mails to the primary email set up for login to Facebook. The email comes in the inbox folder. An interesting finding was the ease of generating emails from the profile URL. the letters after the facebook site name can be suffixed with at-the-rate-of-facebook-dot-com Example: http://facebook.com/nhjbvf7ry9.n... when you make email with nhjbvf7ry9.nksglb (@) facebook dot comThe email is navigated to the user's primary email. though interesting and simple you can use this tool till 30th April 2016. This is the message the recipient will get:"You received this email because your loremipsum@facebook.com account is set up to forward messages to loremip09sum@gmail.com. After May 1, 2016, you will no longer be able to receive email sent to loremipsem@facebook.com.Please update your email address for any services that currently send email to loremipsum@facebook.com.

Why Cant I Press the Same Key Twice?
Hi Jack, This seems to be an issue with Sticky keys. Try the following steps and see if it helps. Click on Start -> Control Panel -> Ease of Access -> Ease of Access Center -> Make the keyboard easier to use and uncheck all the options. Click on ‘Apply’ -> Ok. Restart the computer and check. Alternatively, check the on screen keyboard: • Press and hold the Windows key and press 'R' key. This will open the run window • Type 'OSK' without the parenthesis, click on 'Ok' • Use the on-screen keyboard and check if you face the same issue Also, check if any keys are stuck on the keyboard. Please refer to these links for more information http://dell.to/H9EBiL http://dell.to/H1cZfi Hope this helps. Thanks and Regards, Appu S
