dear mr (name) / dear mrs (name) आदरणीय श्री (नाम) / आदरणीय श्रीमती (नाम)

Explanation:
For Mrs.= श्रीमती
but
Ms./Miss= सुश्री

And translation of "Dear" is culturally incorrect in formal letter of Indian languages. Instead of "Dear" (प्रिय), we use "Respectable" (आदरणीय). Yes, in informal letter we can use "Dear" (प्रिय).
