If you are writing to a person whose name you know, address that person by their last name; Dear Mr. Smith, or Dear Ms. Smith (as the case may be). If you do not know the name of the person whom you are addressing, you can just use Dear Sir or Dear Madame (again as the case may be). It is also possible to address the company itself; Dear Acme Products.
