The proper salutation for a female can vary depending on their marital status. Mrs. is used for women who are married. Miss is used for women who are single, while Ms. is used for women who are both married and single. This salutation is safer to use if one is unsure of the woman's marital status.
The salutation used for the envelope address can be either Dr. John Smith and Dr. Jane Smith, or Drs. John and Jane Smith. If you are writing a letter to both doctors, then he greeting in your letter can be Dear Drs. Smith.

It is always proper to use a complimentary close in a business letter unless you are writing a simplified letter, in which case both the complimentary close and salutation (i.e. "Dear Mr. Jones") are omitted.
