First off, never address a letter with "to whom this may concern."

It should be: Dear sir or madam,

Um....no. You do not know the gender of your reader nor whom you are speaking to, so it is "to whom this may concern". This is especially if you are writing to a business. Where did you take your composition courses?

I think he's covered both genders under "Dear sir or madam," so unless the person is neuter (or hermaphroditic I suppose), he's in the clear there. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with either one, but I'm not an expert in letter writing.
