Mail merge is mail merge, be it, to an email, letter or text.
Dental practices aren't usually big enough to have a person who devotes such a large percentage of their time to composing mail merge templates as to become slick at the task. Rather than being sarcastic you would be better being grateful that they were courteous enough to go to the bother and expense of writing to you at a time when their business was experiencing complete shutdown and they themselves were facing total loss of income. They probably had more on their mind than pleasing pedants who'd focus on trivia at a time like this.
- tialaramex 7y agoDid it come across as sarcastic? I certainly didn't intend that, of course they have more important things to worry about. They'd usually come in to do a day's work and now suddenly everything is closed and they've got to write this weird open-ended letter. It's an NHS dentist, so unless we have millions of deaths I expect the practice will continue to exist and receive funding as before. Such practices are funded partially on the basis of the number of patients who are notionally "theirs" to look after and that hasn't changed even if providing non-emergency services is not a priority now.
