Salutation?

Dear Editor

Dear Editor,
Dear Mr Levine and Associates

Dear Sir or Madam - nothing wrong with that. Perfectly traditional and you're not supposed to know to whom you are writing anyway.

Unless you have done your research and know the name of the agent you are sending your query too

This is a publisher, and most publishers don't want you sending your ms direct to an editor. They want it all coming in to the Inquiry address, so they know that it's unsolicited; it's very unlikely the first person who reads it will be the person you intend.

If a publisher asks you to send your work to an anonymous address, don't try to second guess them. It's quite irritating for a commisioning editor to have to spend half an hour sorting their mail to weed out the unsoliciteds and send them to wherever they ought to have gone in the first place.
