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).
Report Abuse. Most people deal with this question by calling both the greeting and the response a salutation.. This is grammatically sound if it s a matter of one person saying something like: Hello!'m looking for the term for the closing of a letter. Add your answer. Source.
