Best Answer

Whichever the woman prefers. Mrs. indicates a married woman, and Ms. was invented to remove the single/married stigma from being called Mrs. or Miss... Ms. hides whether you are married or not (like Mr. does for men... they have never had the same stigma attached to a title). I have encountered women who were offended by Ms. and people who were offended by "Mrs." so... you have to go with individual preference. Ms. is easier when you are writing a job application to a woman, but "Dear Hiring Manager" works too, if you are uncertain.
