If you don’t know the person’s name, avoid overly formal phrases like, “To Whom it May Concern” or “Dear Mister/Miss.” Don’t go too casual either. “Hi” is far too unprofessional for a business email. You might be better off beginning the email with a simple, “Hello.”

- Dear [Mr./Ms./Mrs./Miss] [Last Name], Target your cover letter with a name.
- Dear [Full Name], Another option for dealing with unisex names like “Jay Winter” is just to use “Dear” and their full name.
- Dear [Job Title],
- Dear [Department] Head,
- Dear Hiring Manager,
