Bestätigung OR Zeugnis


Explanation:
As Mr/Ms Muret-Sanders has pointed out, usually a reference as the above would be headed "Bestätigung". A possible alternative might be "Zeugnis", meaning "certificate" or "reference". The term "to whom it may concern" or a literal translation such es "an den, den es angeht", is not commonly used in German.
