Dear Ms. Name(: OR ,)

Hi,

I see some email cover letters addressing ends with "," or ":". Which is correct?

Also, does fallowing text continue with lower case or upper case? (I see most of them starting with upper case but following the rules it should not.)

Thank you.

  • Both are correct.
  • The colon is formal and used to be required for business/formal letters, but latterly the comma has become more acceptable for both formal and informal letters.
