I should have used less similar names to illustrate. Jane is the letter recipient. Therefore, the salutation should be "Dear Jane." John is just receiving and holding the letter. He is not the recipient. The examples are actually correct, but I suspect your confusion is about the similarity in the names Jane/John more than in care of.

Jane is the letter recipient. Therefore, the salutation should be “Dear Jane.” John is just receiving and holding the letter. He is not the recipient.

You have it all backwards. The letter should be addressed to John Doe. “In care of Jane Doe” means that Jane doe is the one recieving the letter and holding the letter for the intended recipient, John Doe.
