Default Re: Another question about motivation letters

It's better if you can find a name of the person you're writing to, but if you can't then I don't see what's wrong with 'Dear Sir or Madam'. In a motivational letter, I would follow the conventions of formal writing, but might use more expressive language than normal as you have to try to convey your enthusiasm.
