When using an attention line in a letter, what should the saluation read?

The reason to use an attention line is to direct your letter to a specific person within an organization while wanting the letter to be read by the company as a whole. So Gentlemen is used in the salutation

For example

ABC Marketing Services
123 Someplace Street
Somewhere, Manitoba
R3C 2M7

Attention: Mr. John Q. Public, General Manager

Gentlemen:

If the letter is being directed specifically to one person in the organization the letter would start this way


Mr. John Q. Public, General Manager
ABC Marketing Services
123 Someplace Street
Somewhere, Manitoba
R3C 2M7

Dear Sir:

BTW, we don't use the form 'Gentlemen' in letter in the UK.
