English translation:Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms etc or nothing at all
Explanation:
Hi Clarisa. I just had a look at a few of my bills - my mobile phone bills, landline telephone bills and council tax bills just have my name and address followed by the bill amount. My gas and electricity bill says "Dear Miss Hendry".

On my own invoices I just put the payee's name and address in the "To:" section.

Bill to: / Invoice to: / Customer Name:


Explanation:
When preparing invoices, in Venezuela we use “facturado a: (nombre del cliente)”, rather than “Señores”.

I think that “bill to: xx / invoice to: xx / customer name: xx” can be used in the same way in English.

Buena suerte.
Manuel
