Hello to...@tuxteam.de,

Got it. The "Sirs" is definitely unfortunate.
Sirs is still the correct form if you are addressing unknown persons in a
company, organisation, etc.  I know some people object because "it
excludes women" but in this context, the masculine is to be construed as
including the feminine.

Well, actually, the correct form is either:

To Whom it May Concern,
or
Mssrs and Madams,
