A Personal Representative who has been granted legal authority to act on behalf of an. incompetent adult patient or a minor patient can make health care decisions regarding the. patientâs health care and can also assist in exercising the patientâs rights related to protected. health information.
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).
Your salutation is your greeting. In most cases, it is a simple âDear Mr. / Ms. / Mrs. / Dr. _____:â, followed by a colon. It is the standard to salute a person in a business letter with the same name form you use in person; so use a personâs first name only when you know the addressee well or have agreed to correspond on a first-name basis.
