If you are looking for a specfic person (IE the General Manager, the President, the Controller) but don't know if they are male or female, then Sir or Madame would be best.
If you do not even know who the letter would address within the company and you are not sure which department would handle the request, To Whom It May Concern would be appropriate.
Actually, I looked it up: http://jobsearch.about.com/od/businessletters/a/business-letter-salutation-examples.htm
