Oi!
Pelo menos é o que eu escreveria no Brasil -- mais exatamente em São Paulo. "Saudação" existe, sim, mas é bem mais formal. E "olá" eu tenho encontrado muito mais em mensages de portugueses do que de brasileiros -- agora, depende muito de se o indagante está pensando em Portugal, no Brasil ou em outro país lusófono -- uma informação que a turma aqui não tem por hábito dar e, pelo menos para mim, é de capital importância.

Olá
When starting to write a letter this would be the most common term used.
'Oi' would be the most commonly used when speaking to someone.
I thought I had seen all the other suggestions before on this question! Am I going nuts?

: No, Silvia, you're not "nuts"...I did post an answer earlier, but somehow I made it "invisible to others". Please don't ask me how or why. I'm just about as puzzled as you are!
