Auch an Alba

Yes, this is what I learnt, too. And what about the "Dear"? In German I use "Liebe/r" and "Sehr geehrte/r", but never "Hallo" or "Hi", only for persons I know very well. Most Americans I am in contact with never use the "dear". I was wondering about that...
An one more thing: some Americans write very "staccatomäßig", like using online the firstname and than they write only the most important things, some others are very personal, and always write a few personal sentences. What do you think about that?

Sorry fürs Ausquetschen, aber das sind Sachen, die ich mich ständig frage!
