Open, closed, and standard punctuation are all methods of punctuating a business letter. Although any of the styles can be used, closed is seldom used here in the US

In an Open Punctuation Style letter there is…

* No punctuation at end of lines in the inside address

* No punctuation following salutation and complimentary closing

Mixed Punctuation Style Features (This is usually the standard used in the USA)

* No punctuation at the end of lines in the inside address

* A colon follows the salutation

* A comma follows the complimentary closing

In Closed Punctuation Style

* A period follows the date and the last word of the identification line

* A colon follows the salutation

* A comma follows all lines in the inside address except: the last one before the postal code, the complimentary closing, the company name, and the identification line.

Open Punctuation is when there is NO punctuation after the name of the person a letter is addressed to, and there is NO punctuation after the closing. Standard puctuation would use the commas and colons. Closed punctuation seems to be standard English, but I am not sure about that one.
