    yeah you might need to refresh the page a couple of times but its worth it



    oh when emailing some one id preferably say

    dear mr/mrs/miss X, or sir or madame

    but in this case their name is androgynous so would it be OK if I put their full name

    i.e

    dear S F

    It is appropriate to address an email that way. Some would say maybe not appropriate if a business letter.

    Its kind of a business letter as I'm applying for a job and they are the person to apply to

    And I would presume just the firstname

    Dear S

    Would be to informal and not very appropriate

    You might want to stick with Mr. X, or whatever his last name is on this one, but if you feel comfortable doing it with the full name go ahead.

    I am out for the day, Have a good evening.

    Bear, try Mr/Ms Sam Whatever, or you could Google the name to see if you could get a clue.

    I've tried googleing them but all I can find is their full name and email and there are too many people with the same name in the area to have a guess at who is the right one.

    But thank you for the Mr/Ms that would probably be the best option,

    Cheers Cats :)

    Yes and the person is only referred to by their full name as a notice that they were promoted

    ahahahahaha more digging and I found a picture that matched one of the sam X pictures I found earlier, she is female

    so since I can't find out if she is married is
    Mrs or Ms more appropriate?

    Definitely Ms. 21st Century etiquette and she might find it a little flattering. Every brownie point counts.

    What little I can do, I'm happy to help. Are you ready for a rematch in the semi-finals?

    Yeah, we'll have you for deffinate this time :)

    Especially if we play like we did today, and of course we have to get past germany first :D

    US match looked to be a good one, but like us I reckon you could have scored more, just missed those chances :)
