I can’t find the answer to how to address the letter to a former (the ) U.S. Attorney General, and the greeting on a letter. Thank you

Dear Ms. Minor:
A former US Attorney General is on a envelope:
The Honorable (full name)
(Address)
In the salutation:
Dear Mr./Ms. (Surname),
Since he or she was appointed by the President and approved by the Senate … he or she is “The Honorable” for life. But only the current attorney general would be addressed as “Mr./Madame Attorney General”
