Thanks for your time?

Hello,

While finishing a formal letter, what should I write that will mean "thank you for spending your time reading it", is it okay if I say "thank you for your time" only? Can I then end it like "sincerely"?

And another thing is to start the letter, if I don't know the name of the person I will say "to whom it may concern", I know this. But, if I do know the person's name (and this person is a professor), what should I say? Mrs/Mr kind of things?

I am very bad at these kind of stuff in letter writing.

I hope I am posting to the right place.

Thank in advance for your help.

To whom it may concern is fine. If you know the person's name, use it. Thanking you in advance for your attention to this matter, I am, sincerely, ***
