    Exception: Don't use a comma with the greeting Dear, as in:

    Dear Claudio:

    Dear Claudio,

    If you are wondering why I have shown the Dear Claudio greeting (salutation) with
    both a colon and a comma, the colon (:) is used in business letters. The comma is
    used in personal ones (congratulations, condolences).
