Now that is too funny.

Also regarding civilian usage... For formal letters or letters from individuals to organizations when the particular addressee is not known then it is common to use, "Dear Sir," or "Dear Ma'am."

When the gender of the addressee is not known then use "Dear Sir" as the default.
