Salutation... comma needed after Hi or hello?

Is a comma needed after Hi or Hello below? I know it's a direct address, but in a letter format can it be dropped?

Hi Clive,

Blah blah blah

The one below looks weird with 2 commas---

Hi, Clive,

Blah blah blah

Also, can we use a period after the name? Hi, Clive. Blah blah blah
