Why is a greeting used in a formal email?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To begin the email politely and respectfully
A greeting such as “Dear Sir/Madam” or “Respected Ma’am” opens a formal email courteously. It acknowledges the recipient and establishes a respectful, professional tone before the main message begins. The subject line identifies the topic, an attachment button adds a file, and the address field identifies the recipient; none of these functions belongs to the greeting.
