Addressing

	Anonymous  #484624  Mon, 03 Mar 08 07:44 PM Hello,  I'm writting an official letter and I have a question. Usually a letter starts with "Dear __". But what if I'm not sure about which person exactly will receive the letter, as it will be addressed to an entire organisation or department?   Please help    Anonymous

	Clive  #490045  Mon, 17 Mar 08 09:08 PM Hi, Sorry for interrupting. Does 'Dear Sir or Madam' will do good in a formal letter? Yes, it's fine.    If it's compared to 'To Whom It May Concern', which one is better in a formal letter? If you search for 'To whom it may concern', you'll find lots of discussion of this phrase. The simplest advice I can offer you is never to use 'To whom it may concern'. Many learners seem to think that it's commonly used in business writing. It isn't.   Best wishes, Clive    Clive
