Question

Where is a colon used in a formal business letter?

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.
