Question

Where is a colon used in a formal business letter?

A. Following the name of the sender in the closing
B. Following the name of the recipient in the header
C. Following the name of the recipient in the salutation

Answer 1

It would be C. Following the name of the recipient in the salutation hope this helps :)

Answer 2

When writing a formal business letter, there is a specific format to follow.

In this case, a colon is used in salutions after the name of the recipient so option C) is the correct one.

An example of a correct format in a business letter is:

"Dear Mr. Jones:"

In this case, the salutation starts with the word "dear" followed by the name of the recepient and a colon.
