In that instance I'd use an em dash followed by lower-case. Dear everybody — you are using the term Luddite incorrectly. Or a simple comma would suffice.

The comma and the colon serve different purposes in the introduction of a letter. The comma is only for correspondence with friends, while colons are for business correspondence. if you write "Dear John:", it's an introduction to a divorce.
