"To whom it may concern" is a good choice here, and Craig would have been wise to begin his letter this way! This formal construction is often used in business situations when the writer doesn't know the name of the person they are writing to. Example: "To whom it may concern, Please find enclosed my CV and application letter for the position of lion tamer at your circus".
This is not appropriate. "Dearest Luna" could be used to begin a love letter to Luna, but is not appropriate for a job application.
"Dear Sir or Madam" is a good way to begin an application letter. We use this formal introduction when we are not sure of the name (or the sex) of the recipient. Example: "Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to request a refund for some yoghurts I bought in your supermarket".
This construction is never used to begin a letter. If we are not sure of the gender of our correspondent, we write "Dear Sir or Madam".

This is the only correct choice here. We use the constructions "To whom it may concern," and "Dear Sir or Madam," when we are writing a formal letter or email to someone we do not know. If we know the name of the person we're writing to, we can put "Dear Mr. Smith", and if we only know their gender, we can use "Dear Sir", etc!
The term "dearest" is used to address a close friend, family member, or lover. It is not appropriate in the context of a formal email.
"Ladies and gentlemen" is a greeting used when addressing an audience. Example: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the San Francisco Opera House. The show will begin in 3 minutes, so please take your seats". We do not use this expression in written English.
