Practice using it else Hi with 1st name is also fine.

*       Email closing : Closing statement is very important in an
official mail.  Please use it from the list i have mentioned above.

*       Words like guy / chill / cheers etc which are more funky type
should not be used in official emails.

*       In the subject line we should not use verbs.  Subject should not
have more then 17 words.

*       Avoid using capital words in the mail.  This is considered very
rude and arrogant.

*       Exclamation marks should not be used in the mail.

*       Avoid 2-3 messages on one paragraph.  Try to convey one message
in one para.  If required use bullets and make points.  Its always easier for the recipient to reply points.

*       Instead of writing ASAP try and give timeline.  This avoids
confusion.
