Italian term or phrase: Gentile signore, ...
Gentile Signore, mi chiamo Ciro Esposito, sono laureato in Lingue e Letterature straniere e quest'estate sosterrò l'esame per diventare guida turistica di Napoli. Vorrei sapere se il nome di dominio "xxxxx.com" è in vendita, poiché vorrei costruire un sito che promuova la mia futura professione. Se preferisce, posso offrirLe infinite visite gratuite alla città, anche ai suoi amici e parenti! La ringrazio per l'attenzione e spero di avere presto una Sua risposta. Cordiali Saluti, Ciro Esposito

Dear Sir/Madam
Explanation:
I would always begin a formal letter in this way if I didn't who the name of the person. If you know the name of the recipient you can say 'Dear Mr Smith and Mr Jones' for example. Hope it helps
