I am applying for a job through the company's website and it says to just copy and paste the cover letter in a certain section. I don't know who to make the letter out to? In many examples of cover letters, I've seen actual: "Dear Mrs. Johnson" etc. but I don't know a specific person that's going to be seeing this. What should I do?

Kismitt is correct, "To whom it may concern" is the proper way to address the cover letter.

In the address part don't specify a person. Just use the address of the company. You don't know if there is a personnel department or a hiring manager or who ever it is.
When you start the letter, say "To Whom it may concern."

Dear Sirs is always handy for formal letters without a known recipient. Good luck with the job

You can always address it to the HR department. For example: Dear Human Resources Department - McDonald's,
Another option is not addressing it to anyone. If the company didn't put a contact name then obviously they don't care who it is directed too.
Best of luck on your job hunt.

Are you going to fax them your resume? If so... then on your cover letter You'd put to:
whom it may concern, human resources dept, the name of the person as contact on the website...
One of those three should work

dear sir or madam would work (sounds weird but i've seen it done). don't be gender specific though...you could get into trouble that way. to whom it may concern would be your best bet. good luck :)

"To Whom it May Concern" is pretty standard. Be sure to send a thank you to the person who interviews you.
Good luck!
