Standard reply:

Dear sir or madam:

Some crackpot has written me an abusive message, and it seems they used your account to send it. I'm replying to you as a courtesy in case you wish to take action against this lunatic.

Is there a They/Them for Sir or Madam? Must include that as well.

I'd guess "To whom it may concern" would be the most gender neutral/inclusive way to rephrase that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Not that I know of. Unless someone has stated their gender or pronouns, I just use people's names and avoid anything that assumes or implies gender.

"Dearest snookums"

"Sir or Madam" already is a "They/Them".
