In AmE, if you don't know the gender of the person who might be reading your letter, the traditional salutation is: "Dear Sir/Madam".

As for your other questions, we need more context. What type of letter are you sending? Why would you need to indentify your gender? etc

I just want to know is it necessary to indentify my gender in response to this expresson(Dear Ms/Mr.) ? without regarding the type of my letter.
my letter is an ordinary formal letter,actually a scientific letter.

thank you Ouisch :)
