smi1e  +  83940 Fri, 25 Mar 05 11:06 PM When finishing a formal letter, what´s the correct way to write it??? Your Faithfully/Your Sincerely or Yours Faithfully/Yours Sincerely. The difference is on the "s", are there both correct? Thanks. smi1e Joined on Fri, Mar 25 2005 Madeira Island - Portugal New Member 03 Yours Sincerely, Yours Faithfully, Formal Letter, Formal Letters

I think the right way is with "yours, and for a formal letter I favor "sincerely". pieanne Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 South of France ...But I'm Belgian!

	abbie1948  +  84799 Tue, 29 Mar 05 01:28 PM It is always "yours". The simple rule for this is: If you start your letter "Dear Sir" or "Dear Madam", then you finish "yours faithfully" If you start "Dear Mr. ......" or "Dear Mrs." then you finish "yours sincerely" abbie1948 Joined on Thu, Mar 24 2005 England Senior Member 2,657 Hope that helps.
