  ATTN: Hiring Manager,

  Please accept this...

  Dear XXX is only suitable if you know a name, and it has to be the RIGHT NAME. Sir/Madame sounds hackish, you might as well say 'dear whoever happens to read this letter'.
  By stating Attention XXX department or manager will at least get your email/letter routed to the person making the decisions, and it doesn't leave much room for an insult.

  • Yah, the Sir/Madam thing is way too formal, IMO. You're not asking for grant money.dMullins
