Dear Minister


Explanation:
tak podają w wytycznych dot. form zwracania się do urzędników:
http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/ind/en/home/laws___policy/p...
(str. 5)
CORRECT FORMS OF ADDRESS
[1] Envelopes [2] Opening of letter

Secretaries of State [1]The Rt Hon Phiness Finn, P.C., M.P. (personal) or The Home Secretary (official) Secretary
[2] Dear Secretary of State
Dear Home/Foreign/Chief

Ministers [1]John Grey, Esq, M.P. [2]Dear Minister

to samo potwierdza style guide kanadyjski
http://www.steelheadsociety.com/letterwrite.html
Forms of address

Ministers are called “Honourable”, a polite (if not always accurate) description. The salutation for a letter to a provincial minister is thus:
Hon. John Doe, M.L.A.
Minister of…

A letter to a federal minister is slightly different: The letters P.C. are added after the letters M.P. This stands for “Privy Council,” an archaic term, but one about which ministers are often vain. So the letter goes:

Hon. Jane Doe, M.P., P.C.
Minister of…

In both cases the letter starts:

Dear Minister:

or,

Dear Mr. or Ms. Doe:

In the case of the Prime Minister or Premier, it is:

Dear Prime Minister:

or,

Dear Premier:
