@quixoticgeek probably differs per culture, but I have seen it used to basically mean "I have good intentions towards you."
To geek out a little: most forms of address come down to "my lord" and "my lady", at least in Germanic languages. In English the male version is a weird exception, but madam is just my lady in French.
So I'd look for a form of my plus something descriptive of the relationship to the person.
