addressees

Those receiving correspondence

Addressees are the people to whom something is addressed—the intended recipients of a letter, email, speech, or other communication.

The term appears most often in formal or legal contexts: All addressees must acknowledge receipt of the document.

An addressee is distinguished from the sender or from others who might receive copies.
