In order to get it right, do a research on the company and CEO so as to know who you are addressing. Starting with "Dear Mr. /Mrs. /Ms /Dr." followed by their full name is usually the best way to go. However, to be on the safe side if unsure of the CEO's identity or background, "Dear Sir/Madam" will do.
Addressing the Envelope. Write "Attn" followed by the name of the recipient. The "Attn" line should always appear at the very top of your delivery address, just before the name of the person you're sending it to. Use a colon after "Attn" to make it clearly readable.
So if you're the head, just use the title CEO unless you have some strong reason not to. That way people will know to come to you with CEO-ish things. There's no harm in putting "founder" on your business cards as well. E.g., "Founder / CEO" or "CEO & Founder".
Address the letter to 'Head of Customer Service' at the company address, then use 'Dear Sir'. 'Dear Sir' is technically the correct form when you do not know the name of the person, but many people prefer 'Dear Sir or Madam'.

Double space, and then include the dean's address. Double space again, typing the salutation. The greeting should be very formal, as in "Dear Dean Smith," followed by a double space. Introduce the letter by directly addressing the purpose of the writing.
