“Resolve our dispute. How to write “you” when addressing a respected
to a person, with a capital or a small letter?
Moscow university students.
The capital letter does not at all emphasize great respect (in itself, “you” instead of “you” is already respect), it only emphasizes the solemnity of the moment.
Here are the rules.
In applications for leave, financial assistance, etc. “you” is written with a small letter. In newspaper interviews, “you” is with the little one. But in an interview-audience with a high-ranking official, it is customary to write “You” with a capital letter.
And in profiles “You” – only with a capital. The same goes for congratulations and anniversary addresses.

“Birthday as the name of a holiday is written with a capital letter?”
N. Mikhailova, St. Petersburg.
Although birthdays come once a year and this is, without a doubt, a very big holiday, the letter is used in small letters.
The catch at the end
“Is it necessary to put a comma at the end of the letter: “With respect (,) Ivanov”?”
– Previously, this comma was considered an error, but the stubbornness of those who put this comma gradually overpowered the rule, and now this sign is placed at the discretion of the signer.
