C. Dear Mr. Bush: Sincerely yours , I suppose that 'mixed' punctuation is a middle way between these, and I also suppose that there is considerable difference of opinion as to whether and which punctuations are used where.

Open punctuation has no punctuation after the salutation or complimentary closing, no commas in the addressee's address and no periods after abbreviations:

The President of the United States
Washington DC

Dear Mr Bush

Sincerely yours

Closed punctuation has punctuation after the salutation and closing, in the address and after abbreviati

Actually there is only open and mixed punctuation. Open has not punctuation after the salutation and closing. However, mixed has a colon after the salutation and a comma after the closing. So you were close - the example for "close" is actually mixed.
