Here’s a To Whom It May Concern letter sample you can use as a guide.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN LETTER SAMPLE – Here’s an example of this letter that a student may need in different circumstances.
When and how do you use this letter properly? During the time before everyone else had limited access to the internet, a salutation commonly used is “To Whom It May Concern” as we used to not know who to address in the letter. But times have changed. It’s still used, but it’s considered somewhat old-fashioned and impersonal. At present, better options and alternatives are available.
Here are some options:
- Greetings
- Hello
- Dear Hiring Committee
- Dear Hiring Manager
- Dear Hiring Team
- Dear HR Manager
- Dear Human Resources Representative
- Dear Human Resources Team
- Dear [Department] Name
- Dear [Department] Manager
- Dear [Department] Team
- Dear Personnel Manager
- Dear Search Committee
- Dear Recruiter
- Dear Recruiting Manager
- Dear Recruiting Team
- Dear Talent Acquisition Team
- Dear Customer Service Manager
- Re: (Topic of Letter)
There are some types of letters, such as cover letters and follow-up letters, where this should be avoided in the salutation.
Here’s an example:
[Name]
[Address]
[Contact]
[Date]
[Recipient Name]

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to you in response to your reference request for Liz Escudero.
During her time here at [state school or company], she has proven herself to be a highly motivated, intelligent student. Liz has always exemplified good manners, right conduct, and going the extra mile to be an academic achiever.
Her performance has been excellent and I am certain that she would be an asset to your school. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Kind regards,

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
