BlackRock Cover letter

Right now I am looking to apply for a 2016 Summer Analyst internship in equities at BlackRock. I have listed the primary location in my application as Philadelphia with my secondary location as New York. I was wondering if anyone knew who I should address my cover letter to. On LinkedIn, I found a VP of recruiting in Philadelphia and a director of recruiting in New York. Should I be address my cover letter to one of these people or someone else? I am extremely interested in the position and want to increase the odds of landing an interview, even if it's a little.

I contacted their PA office and was told to use a general greeting because it will be pass through multiple people and that it is not a criteria. This makes sense. From everything I read on cover letters, there was a lot of emphasis to address it to the right person. Maybe at a smaller firm it is important, but at a larger firm there are many people involved in the hiring process. Just my thoughts...
