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).
In some languages and cultures, the same word or gesture is used as both greeting and farewell. Examples are Good day in English, As-Salamualaikum in Arabic, Aloha in Hawaiian, Shalom in Hebrew, Namaste in Hindi and Ciao in Italian. The bow and handshake are also used for both greeting and leave taking.
