<upd_detl>I was trying to bring this pair (戦略、早々) in line with the other correspondence pair (拝啓、敬具) which are currently and I think beneficially linked.
So if it’s not an improvement for the brief letter, why is it an improvement that adds value for the formal letter?
As in the case of 拝啓 &amp; 敬具, 前略 &amp; 早々 are always paired in an appropriately but quickly written letter.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Noted, but I don't think it added materially to this entry, whereas the notes in the 拝啓 and 敬具 entries did.</upd_detl>
