When using mixed punctuation do you punctuate the complementary close?

No, you do not punctuate the complementary close in a letter using mixed punctuation.

Mixed punctuation uses a colon after the salutation and a comma after the complementary close.

Example:

Dear [Name],

[Body of the letter]

Sincerely,

[Your name]

Note:

* Open punctuation does not use any punctuation after the salutation or complementary close.

* Closed punctuation uses a colon after the salutation and a period after the complementary close.

However, the use of mixed punctuation is becoming less common, and many style guides recommend using open punctuation instead.
