There was certainly a lot of agreement on Dear Sir, and I suppose in a generic fashion it could be acceptable. But I think its important to look at the context I included in this question.

I chose Chairman because it was the most specific. But, Dear Sir probably is not what we would want to use in this context in the U.S. |
