A mixed punctuation style typically uses a colon after the salutation.
Mixed punctuation is a style of formatting business letters where a colon is used after the salutation and a comma is used after the closing. This formatting style is less common today and has generally been replaced by open punctuation, where no punctuation is used after the salutation or closing.
No. A comma follows the complimentary close when mixed punctuation is used (meaning a colon was used after the salutation)
Mixed punctuation actually means that you add a colon to the end of a salutation in your documents. Open means you do not add a colon; for example:Dear SusieThanks for calling!Whereas for mixed punctuation:Dear Susie:Thanks for calling!
Yes, in mixed punctuation style, the complimentary close is followed by a colon.

There is no specific term "external punctuation," but punctuation marks are symbols used in writing to clarify meaning and separate different parts of a sentence. Examples include periods, commas, question marks, and exclamation points.
The correct punctuation for "doing business as" is written as "d/b/a" or "dba." It is commonly used in legal and business contexts to indicate a business operating under a different name.
open punctuation is used in types of business letters. In a business letter you may address the letter, but instead of putting somthing like San Diego, California, you would put SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA. there is no puctuation used in the address and it is in all caps.
There are 34 letters and 15 different punctuation marks.
Well, it rather depends on the edition. The punctuation in Shakespeare's plays was put in by the typesetters, not the author. The punctuation in the Folio Hamlet and the Second Quarto Hamlet is markedly different, and a modern editor has to pick from one or the other, or substitute other punctuation. Its effectiveness depends on how good a job this particular editor has done.
