Question

Which punctuation mark belongs at the end of the salutation? Select one of the options below as your answer:

Answer 1

The punctuation mark that belongs at the end of the salutation is option B. Colon. A colon should be used in formal letters such as business letters, or even addressing someone using their first names. A comma can be used only if the letter is for informal purposes or addressed to a more informal correspondence. The use of a semicolon is not an option to be used in the salutation.
