The style of punctuation commonly used in business are
given below
Open Punctuation
In open punctuation, no line of any letter part (except
the body) has any punctuation at the end unless an abbreviation requires a full
stop. Open punctuation is becoming more accepted but is less popular than mixed
punctuation.
Standard or Mixed Punctuation
Standard or mixed punctuation uses colon after salutation
( a comma if the letter is social or personal) and the comma after the
complimentary close.
Writers in Asia and Great Britain use a comma in place of
colon after the salutain.
Although the most popular style in business communication
is mixed punctuation, either style of punctuation may be use with block or
modified block format.
