Anyone reading this and willing to help? I'll beg if you want.

Very simple question, but lets just assume I was brought up by monkeys:
How do I address a formal letter at someone I don't know the name of (or even if the person is male of female)? How do I close it?

Ummm, HELP?
I really hate writing this kind of letters.

To Whom It May Concern always works.

Really?
Oh, urgh. I hoped there was something that didn't sound so ... I don't know.
Anyway.
Thanks.

Dear Sir/Madam is the way I was taught to address a formal letter under those circumstances.

That's the best option I've heard so far.
Thanks.
(Me? Worrying to much about details? What gave you that idea? *g*)
