"greetings from xxx!"
Estimado Sr.


Explanation:
Ou "Estimados Srs.", etc. Assim continua um certo nível de formalidade, mas não tanto que justifique o "Exmo. Sr." - presumo que a carta não deve ser muito formal, porque abre com "greetings from...". Pode também tentar "Estimados pais" ou "Estimados colegas", conforme o caso.

Sim, em inglês usa-se esta saudação na abertura de uma carta formal, mas soa estranho em português. Veja o comentário de GenJen54 em http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=179497, talvez ajude.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Antes deste "Greetings from xxx" está já "Dear Mr. + nome" Parece-me redundante o greetings..

"ver explicação"


Explanation:
Opção

Creio ser isto aí.

Greeting é a saudação inicial. O termo a ser utilizado irá depender do nível de relacionamento ( Dear.....- Dear Sir or Madam.... - To Whom It May Concern, etc....). Em português poderia ser, dependendo do grau hierárquico = Exmo Sr - Ilmo sr - Prezado Sr - etc.....
