What Do You Call The Beginning Of A Letter?

Answer»

I have always heard the "Sincerely, xxxx" part of a letter CALLED the closing. (And the part you DESCRIBE as the greeting ("Dear MR. yyyy") I'm used to calling the salutation.) It's called a VALEDICTION or a COMPLIMENTARY close. The opening phrase is called a salutation.
