Jeff Kovacich - Cover Letter

I am not sure who to address this cover letter to as there was no name. Should I use the company name, HR representative, or something else? Also, I know I should add a question or two in it so should I add it to the body or the conclusion of the letter? Would generic or more specific questions about the company be best? Maybe one of each. Also, please comment on the tone and general structure of the cover letter as I have never written one before.
