Rulewise, "OF" is a preposition, i.e., a word positioned before its object.
Thus, the option " Dear partners of Universal Magazine " qualifies.

Dear Universal Magazine partners : We bank on such constructions and, in moderation, they’re perfectly acceptable.
However,we can easily overuse them.

Another example, : In "a stroke of luck,', of is the preposition
