English term or phrase: sister
Dear Sister,
Moll
αδελφή (αδερφή)
Explanation:
Different spellings - both commonly used.

Αγαπητή Αδελφή (Dear Sister): You would use this structure when you are addressing a Sister nurse, nun, etc. -- it's a rather formal greeting.

Αγαπημένη μου αδελφή (My dear sister): You would use this wording when you are addressing your sister.

I hope that the above is clear enough.
