Use a colon when addressing someone. For example, "Dear Mr. Smith:"

Avoid exclamation points. For example, "I look forward to speaking with you soon." Instead of "I look forward to speaking with you soon!"

When signing a letter or email, use a comma. For example, "Sincerely, John Smith"

Why do writers use punctuation?

Essentially, punctuation assists with clarity. It uses a variety of marks, each with a specific role, to create structure and organize language. It also assists when reading out loud by indicating pauses. What's more, punctuation can change the meaning of sentences. Sometimes this is overt; compare "let's eat, Grandma" with "let's eat Grandma". The first sentence is someone suggesting to Grandma that they eat, whereas the second is someone suggesting that they eat Grandma! On other occasions it can be more subtle:"Alex didn't want to go the park today. We had been yesterday." - the full stop indicates they are two distinct assertions."Alex didn't want to go the park today, we had been yesterday." - the comma groups the two phrases suggesting they are related. That is, both phrases give reasons for why people don't want to go."Alex didn't want to go the park today: we had been yesterday." - the colon suggests the second phrase is the explanation for the first. That is, Alex didn't want to go the park because "we" went yesterday.

Madrid doesn't have more than one pattern. It's all the basic pattern. Reproduction is the same pattern in general but has a few minor changes. Parts of the pattern are wider on the reproduction than on the original. More than likely if you have piece you have a reproduction piece as the 'real' Madrid from the 20s is VERY rare.
