In standard written British English, "to whom" is considered correct. However, in spoken British English, "to who" or "who to" would be more normal.

To whom it may concern Who is a subject pronoun; it is used as the subject of a verb. Whom is an object pronoun. If you find you can replace who/whom with he, she, or they, who is correct. If you find you've replaced who/whom with him, her, or them, then whom is correct.

Can whom be used as a plural form of who?

The pronoun 'whom' can function as a direct object, but it is often difficult to recognize because 'whom' does not actually follow the verb.Example: You will work with foreman whom you will meet later.The subordinate clause is whom you will meet later. It is easier to see that the pronoun 'whom' is the direct object of the verb 'will meet' if you mentally restructure the clause: you will meet whom later.Example: The foreman whom I was assigned to was very supportive.Whom is the object of the preposition to (to whom I was assigned). In this sentence, the the word 'whom' is not essential: The foreman I was assigned to was very supportive.The pronoun 'whom' is more commonly the object of a preposition:To whom do I give my completed application? (interrogative pronoun)The person to whom you give the application is the manager. (relative pronoun)
