Both men and women in the USA usually smile and shake hands when greeting. Good friends and family members may hold each other when they meet. In common situations, a wave may be used instead of a handshake. Americans often greet strangers on the street by saying "Hello" or "Good morning". When greeting someone for the first time, Americans commonly say "Pleased to meet you!‖ or "How do you do?‖ A simple "Hello‖ or "Hi" is also common.

Dear Mum and Dad,

How are you? It’s my lunch hour so I thought I’d write to you before my meeting this afternoon.
