English term or phrase: Mr and Mrs

I need to find out how to say "Mr and Mrs" in Hindi to address a letter. I think the client wants to do a mail merge and therefore needs to say:

Dear Mr and Mrs X
Dear Mr X
Dear Mrs X

I assume that "Mr" and "Mrs" separately would be the same as the components of "Mr" and "Mrs".

Thank you.

श्रीमान / श्रीमती - Shreeman / Shreemati

Explanation:
I think Shreeman and Shreemati would suit best if followed by the common surname e.g. Shreeman aur Shreemati Singh and Shree and Shreemati would be good enough if followed individually by the surname e.g. Shree Singh or Shreemati Singh.

Explanation:
as English term or phrase: Mr and Mrs

in my opinion usually you have to address like that "Shrimaan evm Shrimati suffix with the full name" whom you know at first.
like if your friend is a female, can address like "Shrimaan evm Shrimati Name of your Friend
Regards,
Bhasurak

Example sentence(s):

Like as if your Female Friend's Name is Preeti and her Husband Name is Bhasurak Hindusthani then you can address them as Mr. and Mrs. Preeti Hindusthani
