I'm writing a cover letter and I don't know whether to use Mrs. or Ms. I don't know if the person I'm writing to is married or not. Which should I use?

In that case definately use Ms. it is the proper way of addressing this issue.

Use Ms. Since Mr. doesn't indicate whether a man is married or not (and why should it matter in business correspondence) it is safest to use Ms - because it doesn't matter for women either. "Mrs." goes back to much more traditional, sexist days where it mattered whether a woman was married or not - mostly to stereotype them.

I can't believe I am going to say this, but the appropriate title is Ms. or Miss. I hate Ms. with a passion. Even before I was married, I preferred being called "Miss"

Ms.
lways better to use Ms. if your not sure.
or if you hear someone saying her name try and notice if there is more of a z sound or an s sound.
Z, mrs.
s, ms.

i think you should use the not married on or just use her name without the mrs. and ms.

Ms. unless specifically requested otherwise. Mrs. is a social title, Ms. is a professional one.
