Don't use 'To whom it may concern' except in unusual cases, eg if you are a lawyer writing a threatening letter eg if you are an employer writing a reference letter for one your former employees. Instead, use Dear Sir or Madam if you don't know the person's name (or gender). If you know the name, use eg Dear Mr Smith , For a business letter, end with Yours sincerely , not with Best Regards unless the person is also your personal friend.
