If the person has a professional title, that should be used:
        Thruman Hardwick, Ph.D.
        Dr. James Gordon
        Mr. John Rae, President
The Salutation "Gentlemen" may be used if the letter is not addressed to a 
specific person within the company, even though the letter is marked for the 
attention of that person.
If two or more men who have no professional title, "Mr." should precede each 
name.  In this case you may also use "Dear Sirs:" or "Gentlemen".
However, as is often the case, the correct way is not *politically correct*, 
and who knows what error they have introduced into salutations.
