The attention line is the appropriate place to address Salma specifically within the context of addressing the letter to the company as a whole. The inside address would list the company's address, not Salma's name. The salutation would use a more general greeting such as "Dear Manager" or "To Whom It May Concern." The subject line would provide a brief description of the letter's content, and the complimentary close would be used to sign off the letter.
