Now to add to your worries: 
If you start with "Dear Sir/Madam", make sure you sign off with, "Yours faithfully".
If you start with their name, sign off with "Yours sincerely".
Yours faithfully or Yours sincerely?[^]

How about "Darling Fascist Bully-Boy[^]"?

You could use Dear Madam.

I always use Ms. I don't differentiate the treatment of men depending on if they are married or not, so I do the same with women. In Spain, to call the equivalent to Mrs to a woman is something quite old-fashioned -usually it comes from seniors- and considered offensive. But could be acceptable for a teenager.

Dear baby.

Traditionally (in American English, at least), "Mrs." implies married, and "Miss" implies unmarried. "Ms." (pronounced more like "Mizz") avoids that distinction. It is an appropriate professional address for a female regardless of marital status. Marital status is irrelevant.
* * *
Unfortunately, there's no gender-neutral address, which is a problem when one can't tell from the name whether someone is a "Mr." or a "Ms." -- e.g., native English speakers trying to decode Chinese or Indian names. In those cases, I usually just avoid the "Mr." or "Ms." pronoun and simply use the person's full name. "Dear <insert full name here>, ..."

Including the name Leslie. In some instances, Leslie can be a male's name. For example: Leslie Nielsen.

You could try writing to Dear Abby or Mrs. Manners in the local newspaper. If you do not get local delivery, try going to the New York Times web site and they may have one of these two columnists who give advice.

It's my Mum's 68th birthday. 27 years 1 month exactly since Melanoma killed her.
Had a feed, setting up for pool and a live rock band should start in tge next 15 minutes.
Drinking is a given, will see how long I last.

I understand the need for an excuse to take the family for a drink and a feed but 27 years is a bloody long time ago.

It might be, but I'll be back mid October for 20 years since my little Sister died also from Melanoma.

Mother, and sister? You had best stay out of the sun, might want to consider wearing SPF 10000000 even while indoors.
Sorry to hear of your looses, terrible way to pass.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Anyone here following the progress of the new Atari[^] game machine?
Anyone looking to purchase one?
I put myself onto the waiting list!
On the site they say,
Killer Atari Classic Games. Hot New Indie Titles. Open Linux OS.
Join the Revolution.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Looking into my shelf, I see a Atari 400, 2 600XL, an 800XL, 2 1040 ST and a Mega STE. Enough old Ataris to play with.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I only have an Atari 600 XL and a 1040 ST, and for the 600 XL I only have 2 cartridges: Chess and "Star Raiders"

Star Raiders is a great old game. If you want more, you can download entire libraries of disk images for the 8 bit and 16 bit Ataris. The real problem is attaching old 5.25 and 3.5 disk drives to a PC and actually format the disks and write away the images.
Anyway, here you can get some stuff: The World's Finest Atari Database : games, demos, utilities for 2600, 5200, 400, 800, xl, xe, st and falcon[^]
As an alternative you might get yourself some more modern replacement for the disk drives which is based on SD memory cards or some other kind of flash memory.

The first step is to stop thinking about ow old you are and what others may or may not expect you to do. Pirates don't care very much about such things.
