Letter Writing
To Whom It May Concern
I always have found that all of the letters were capitalized and that is how I was taught. Is this still correct?

Hi, Yes. But are you sure you should be using this phrase? English learners often use it in contexts where it is not appropriate.

Clive is right. This substitute for a more precise salutation is only used when the writer does not know with whom the letter will be used.
For example, if I am writing to the professors at various (yet undecided by the student) Universities to recommend a student, and I don't know the names of those professors, I would still use,"Dear Madam or Sir," or "Dear Professors:" or something
