Serious boring answer: always use "Ms" in business communication, even for a woman you know is married. Marital status is irrelevant in business so it's best to not even make the distinction.

I simply stopped using any form of salutation, especially because official ranks were involved, and those often changed. If I had to for a known female, however, I would use Ms.

Now to add to your worries:
If you start with "Dear Sir/Madam", make sure you sign off with, "Yours faithfully".
If you start with their name, sign off with "Yours sincerely".
Yours faithfully or Yours sincerely?[^]

I think I will go with "to whom it may concern"

How about "Darling Fascist Bully-Boy[^]"?

You could use Dear Madam.

I always use Ms. I don't differentiate the treatment of men depending on if they are married or not, so I do the same with women. In Spain, to call the equivalent to Mrs to a woman is something quite old-fashioned -usually it comes from seniors- and considered offensive. But could be acceptable for a teenager.

Traditionally (in American English, at least), "Mrs." implies married, and "Miss" implies unmarried. "Ms." (pronounced more like "Mizz") avoids that distinction. It is an appropriate professional address for a female regardless of marital status. Marital status is irrelevant.
* * *
Unfortunately, there's no gender-neutral address, which is a problem when one can't tell from the name whether someone is a "Mr." or a "Ms." -- e.g., native English speakers trying to decode Chinese or Indian names. In those cases, I usually just avoid the "Mr." or "Ms." pronoun and simply use the person's full name. "Dear <insert full name here>, ..."

Including the name Leslie. In some instances, Leslie can be a male's name. For example: Leslie Nielsen.

You could try writing to Dear Abby or Mrs. Manners in the local newspaper. If you do not get local delivery, try going to the New York Times web site and they may have one of these two columnists who give advice.

It's my Mum's 68th birthday. 27 years 1 month exactly since Melanoma killed her.
Had a feed, setting up for pool and a live rock band should start in tge next 15 minutes.
Drinking is a given, will see how long I last.

It might be, but I'll be back mid October for 20 years since my little Sister died also from Melanoma.

Mother, and sister? You had best stay out of the sun, might want to consider wearing SPF 10000000 even while indoors.
Sorry to hear of your looses, terrible way to pass.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Looking into my shelf, I see a Atari 400, 2 600XL, an 800XL, 2 1040 ST and a Mega STE. Enough old Ataris to play with.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
