given name in an email

Question

Hi, I'd like to write an e-mail to a woman from Taiwan named Ying-Chen Peng, addressing her by her given name (we've already met and had a friendly chat). Can I write 'Dear Peng'?Thanks! Sarah

Sara · Answer

No, it is so strange. You can use Dear Ms/Miss Peng.

Sarah · Answer

Thank you! So Ying-Chen is the given name, and Peng the Family name? To be more friendly, could I write 'Dear Ying-Chen'?Sarah

Luna · Answer

Yes, it is ok with Dear Ying-Chen. Or you can write down Ni Hao Ying-Chen. She or he will be surprised.
