What's the Hebrew equivalent for "To whom it may concern" at the start of a formal letter?

    לכל מאן דבעי

    You pronounce it: le kol maan debay

    It's the only correct form, some people make the mistake and write the first word "מען" but it's wrong.

    I don't know but I do know that a letter should never start with To whom it may concern. That's obsolete unless it's a court document. It should say Dear Sir or Madam. And this is how that is written in Hebrew:

    א.נ. או גברת

    There are two options:

    1) לכל מאן דבעי [le-khOl man de-va-E], which is Aramaic for "to whomever needs". It is considered very formal.

    2) לכל המעוניין [le-khOl ha-me-un-yAn], direct translation of the English phrase, today it is more common than the former.

    It might be possible definitely
