Thoughts on addressing a cover letter to a vague title (hiring manager) when I don’t know which recruiter will actually be reviewing my application?

I always used the campus recruiter’s name in college, but not sure how big of a deal it is anymore and having trouble tracking down the name of the exact recruiter for large firms.

Dear Hiring Professional

I would just use "To Whom It May Concern"

I just start “Hello,"

I wouldn't bother with the cover letter

Thanks all

Hi Fishes,

I gave my various rounds of interview in Deloitte USI 2 months ago, and since then till last Friday it was showing " interview in progress" on their job portal, HR said earlier that we are interviewing other candidates. I got an offer from Amazon last week and asked Deloitte recruiter to speed up the process, i didn't get any reply on my email but now it's showing " review in progress" on the job portal. What does it mean? Shall I wait for Deloitte offer or take Amazon's offer.
