English term or phrase: Attn. / for the attention of
Jeg står noe fast her... helt klart hva det betyr, men hva er den beste formuleringen på norsk?
Det er et ganske formelt brev om vedlikeholdskontrakt (så fra et firma til et annet).
På engelsk står det bare "Attn.". Tittelen på vedkommende som brevet er rettet til, kommer på neste linje.

"v/Direktøren" (et eksempel kun) er liksom ikke formelt nok..

Takker for enhver hjelp!

Explanation:
v/direktøren (husk liten d) er mer enn formelt nok. Personlig kaster jeg slike brev uåpnet - i min organisasjon er det meg som bestemmer hvilke saker som skal eskaleres til direktørnivå. Har de ikke en gang funnet ut hva den aktuelle direktøren heter, så er dette jevngodt med uadressert reklame for meg.
