نامه ای به همه کسم و هیچ کسم
This is a subtitle of a book. "A letter to my everyone and no one"? doesn't seem to be correct.

: Most of the suggestions proposed are also correct, so bottom line it just depends on which one you fancy best or suits the tone. Personally, I like this one.

"A letter to my everything" sounds good, but 'nothing' doesn't. Maybe it should be "A letter to my everything and nothing less".

همه و هیچ کسم
Let's paraphrase the English text as follows:
A letter to the one who is everyone of mine, yet nothing of mine.
This seems to be an intentional 'Paradox' implying that a person to whom the letter is written is the dearest to the writer, yet the least caring person to him/her.
