Question about Formal Letter Writing

In my salutation, what would I write if I was addressing more than one person and I know the names to all of the persons that I am addressing? Thanks

Re: Question about Formal Letter Writing

If they're all men, then the salutation would be "Dear Messrs Jones, Smith and Adams." If you're writing to a mixed group, it would be "Dear Messrs Jones, Smith, Adams and Ms. Johnson."
