Mrs...? what if she aint"  Miss...? might be a lesbian or an old hag.  Ms....? That just don't sound right.  Madam...? Probably get slapped with that one.  Maybe I'll just leave it blank.  Sgatr15 |

as long as you don't call her a madam but rather use it in its proper honorific form it should be fine. I think it is the correct one to use any way.

Ms. is appropriate if you are not sure she is married

If I know her to be married, currently, for sure, Mrs. If she's single or I don't know, Ms. I don't use Miss. Jim |

I hope you're in a remote area of Alaska, because I think the Women's Shooters forum may have found a new official target. Jim |

Definitely "Ms." no question. UNLESS you know she is married, then it's most certain "Mrs." If you know for certain that she has never been married, it is "Miss."
If she has been married but divorced, it is Ms. and if you dont know for sure whether she has ever been married or not, it is always "Ms." ETA...I believe all women should sign their name as Ms, Miss, or Mrs. every single time. Once I get married, my wife will never use her name without Mrs. in front of it.

I got scolded in court for refering to the defendant as "Misses Brown" rather than "Mizz Brown." From that point forward i just referred to her as "the suspect."

Alright...here's what I got.
What do you think of this cover letter? June 21, 2005 Ms. Maria Clark Sales Department ClearChannel Radio Street City Dear Ms. Maria Clark Calling me an Avid listener of KFBK 1530 would be an understatement. So when I heard of a sales position opening with Clear Channel, I jumped at the oppurunity to match my great creative skills with your company needs. I am a life long active member of this great community with a long successful history in sales and people relations. Your ad stresses the importance on people skills and creativity, in the last few years I have produced multiplel small political cartoon skits using digital editing software and video equipement. Plus I have a talented work history of successfully managing large teams to achieve successful sales goals..often EXCEDING the sales goals. You will find my resume enclosed. I am excited to arrange an interview with you and will contact the station on Monday to schedule a time and date. Regards Sgtar15 12345 main street asshat ville Sgat1r5 |
