You really need to look these verbs up in the dictionary to see how they are used.

Again, under Transitive verb use:

le saluda atentamente -> yours faithfully

Since it is Transitive there must be a direct object. However, le; not lo is used, so a direct object seems to be missing. Look to English to find it.

I give you or present you a salute. (salute or salutation) is the direct object. The you or to you is the indirect object (le).

So to answer the original question it would be:

Le saludo a María.

hmmm saluda is how it is written in the dictionary, but I think you're correct. - 0074b507, Jan 16, 2010
