Hi,
I still don't know what 'thru' means here. Does it just mean all these other people receive a copy of the letter? If so, this is normally dealt with by adding a 'cc' list at the end of the letter, following the signature.
Mr. John Doe
Department of Finance
Dear Mr. Doe, (Since you know his name, use it here)
Yours
