Hi,

You'll find a great deal of discussion of this phrase if you search the Forum for it.

Here's a very brief comment.

If you are writing to someone whose name you don't know, say 'Dear Sir or Madam'.

If you are writing a general employmet reference that will be shown to many people in the future by your ex-employee, use 'To whom it may concern'.
