Is the title ～[殿]{どの} used in modern day Japanese? If so, which people can you
use it with? I've only really seen it come across in referring to
[大]{だい}[名]{みょう} (feudal lords). Also it is applicable to use as a translation
of "sir" of people who have been knighted by the queen of England?




You may use it in emails, especially when you contact another company or
another department which you have never contacted before.

> 関係者各位殿 To whom it may concerned
>
> 〇〇社〇〇殿 To (someone) in company
>
> (部署名)殿 To (Department name)

**Note** : I personally don't use it, because I feel that it's extreme polite,
but when I searched mailing list in my company, I got around 400 hits for
around a year, so indeed some people use it.
