How to use title in salutation, when recepient's name is unknown
I'm sending a formal letter to an adjudicator but do not know his or her name. What would be the most appropriate salutation?
Dear Adjudicator:
Dear adjudicator:
Dear sir or madam:
To whom it may concern:
unknown gender
To whom it may concern - unknown post (Adjudicator in this case)
[from address]
[date]
The Adjudicator
[to address]Dear Sir or Madam
Preferably, Dear [name with title]
I would address it
To the Adjudicator.
This is nice and specific and lets the recipient know that the letter is specifically intended for them, as opposed to a general 'Dear Sir/Madam' or 'To whom it may concern' which could be received by anybody.
