Hope this ends up in front of the right person! To whom it may concern really reads this way: I have no idea who I’m writing to. Why ‘to whom it may concern’ doesn’t always work To whom it may concern is a letter or email greeting used when the sender doesn’t know who will be receiving the message.īut it’s 2020, and it’s pretty easy to figure out who will be reading your email or letter or message, whether it's the hiring manager or a future mentor or a coworker (please, know your coworker's names).Īnd even if you don’t know the name of the person you’re writing to, or if you’re writing to more than one person, there is nearly always a better way to address your letter.
