  "Hello", "good morning/afternoon/evening". In Japanese, "Ohio/Konichiwa", in German "Guten tag" etc.

  All, Please make sure to put a cover sheet on your TPS reports. Team, Please make sure to put a cover sheet on your TPS reports. Everyone, Please make sure to put a cover sheet on your TPS reports. Good Afternoon/Morning, Please make sure to put a cover sheet on your TPS reports. Staff, Please make sure to put a cover sheet on your TPS reports. I just quickly browsed through my emails I've received this year (coworkers, customers, vendors) and that covers all the ones I've received. All of those are perfectly acceptable. I wouldn't be personally use "guys," "gals," or "guys and gals" in a non-friend situation.
