Hello!
I have a question. When you write a letter - in English -, do you write
Dear Mrs X comma,
Or
Dear Mrs X colon:
The uses may be different in the UK and in the US...
Thank you!

A couple of decades ago, I remember learning colon being used in formal letters as “Dear ***:”. Gradually, the comma was replacing the colon and today, it seems like everyone (at least in the US) is using comma in emails. How correct is it? I myself like to know too.
