Dear Mr. [last name]:

or

Dear Ms. [last name]:

If the addressee, it is courteous to verify with her secretary whether she prefers "Ms." or "Mrs." (sometimes also "Miss").

Whether a man or woman, if you can confirm that the addressee holds a doctoral title, then "Dear Dr. [last name]:" would be appropriate. If he or she holds another title of nobility or military rank, follow the protocol for that title. However, "Mr." and "Ms." are perfectly acceptable as well.
