00I am afraid that none of the above would be my response.02br
02br
00There is no question mark.02br
02br
00I doubt that a colon is required; I would suggest a semi colon.02br
02br
00The next letter after a semi colon would be lower case.02br

10Yes, if what follows the colon is a complete sentence, as it is in this case. It's not WRONG to leave it low
