Should my recommenders identify each school by name?

I realize having my recommenders mention the school by name in each recommendation letter is best, but would it be frowned upon by adcoms if the recommendation letters were simply addressed as "To Whom it May Concern," with no mention of the school's name?

I ask because I am coaching my recommenders from abroad and there is a 13 hour time difference, making it more difficult to coordinate with their already busy schedules.

Many thanks in advance!

Yes, you probably should, otherwise schools may think they wrote a generic recommendation for many schools. Just make sure your recommenders don't mix up the names :)

ok, thanks a lot for your guys' responses. I'll have to try to coordinate with my recommenders to do as such.
