Same words, different punctuation. Which letter do you think John would rather receive? ;D
(For what it's worth, I would remove the extraneous comma after "people" in that second version. ;) )

Then there is that famous:
WOMAN WITHOUT HER MAN IS NOTHING
"Woman: Without her, man is nothing."
"Woman, without her man, is nothing."
WOMAN WITHOUT HER MAN IS NOTHING
"Woman: Without her, man is nothing."
"Woman, without her man, is nothing."
