It is addressed to Abbott but dear Prime Minister. Suggest it needs to be changed to either Dear Mr Abbott or Dear Minister!   It may seem inconsequential, but correct protocol is to address it to: The Hon Tony Abbott MP. May seem irrelevant, but Ministerial Office staff (generally, can't speak specifically) tend to get superior and their backs up when things like that "MP" are left off.   Kate (who has spent far too many years working with Ministers and Ministerial Office staff!)
