USAGE:
各位(かくい) is itself an honorific, so adding さま or 殿(どの) after it is considered redundant, though 各位(かくい)さま is sometimes seen in practice. Typically placed after a group noun: 社員(しゃいん)各位(かくい), 会員(かいいん)各位(かくい), 関係者(かんけいしゃ)各位(かくい). Used primarily in written communication — business emails, notices, and circulars.

COMMON COLLOCATIONS:

  • 社員(しゃいん)各位(かくい): to all employees
  • 会員(かいいん)各位(かくい): to all members
  • 関係者(かんけいしゃ)各位(かくい): to all concerned parties
