TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN LETTER SAMPLE – Here’s an example of this letter that a student may need in different circumstances.
When writing certain types of letters, whether formal or informal, among the top considerations is to make your tone neutral and professional. In establishing a formal tone, there must be a salutation and one for example is the To whom it may concern. This is a popular and widely used salutation for business letters and emails.
When to Use “To Whom It May Concern”?
You may use this when you are writing to a company or department and not sure who to specifically address in the letter. On the other hand, you must avoid using this salutation whenever possible. On the negative side, using this suggests laziness on your part and in some circumstances, leaves an impression of being careless and unprofessional. It is also best to avoid this in cover letters and follow-up letters.
Here are some alternatives to consider:
- “Greetings”
- “Dear Hiring Manager”
- “To the [company name] [department] team”
- “Good morning/afternoon”
- “Hello”
- “Dear Hiring Committee”
- “Dear Hiring Manager”
- “Dear Hiring Team”
- “Dear HR Manager”
- “Dear Human Resources Representative”
- “Dear Human Resources Team”
- “Dear [Department] Manager”
- “Dear [Department] Team”
- “Dear Personnel Manager”
- “Dear Recruiter”
- “Dear Recruiting Manager”
- “Dear Recruiting Team”
- “Dear Talent Acquisition Team”
- “Dear Customer Service Manager”
- “Re: (Topic of Letter)”

To whom it may concern,
Good day! Kindly excuse my son, Jason Christopher Fernandez, of Grade V section Saturn from being absent in your class in the last two days, December 8 and 9, 2020, due to sickness.
My son had fever and runny nose so I preferred to have him stay at home to rest. I would greatly appreciate if you could excuse my son from the activities and quizzes he missed or you can give him a special test.
Thank you so much and I’m hoping for your kind consideration.
Respectfully yours,
(Signature)
TINA FERNANDEZ
Jason’s Mother
