- to an unmarried woman: chère mademoiselle
- to a married woman = chère madame (can also be used if the marital status is irrelevant, as for 'Ms.' in English)
- you want to refer the marital status, but don't know it : "chère madame ou mademoiselle" (not useful in my opinion)
- you are writing to a mix of Mrs. and Miss/Misses: chére madame (or chères mesdames) et mademoiselle (or mesdemoiselles) (put madame first and mademoiselle after)
- you don't know who you are writing to: "Chère madame, Cher monsieur" or simpler "madame, monsieur"
-'monsieur' =any boy or man
