hi! my name is celeste and I am from ARgentina.Im studying english and Im doing some exercises on openings and closings in letters so I have a few questions.


 "yours always, susie" what does itmean? what am I saying with this closing?

  "yours ever, susie" ?  "yours for ever"  what is the difference between them? what do they mean?


I have those closings in my exercises and I have to explain why did the wrtiter choose them, but all I have is the background (the letter) but I don´t know exactly the difference and meaning of those closings, and I don´t know why they are used in this or that letter.


thank you!!

Yours always = I will always be your friend / sweetheart

Yours ever  = I will be your friend / sweetheart for all time


These are very informal closings, used between close friends. They mean about the same thing.


It can be as strong as "Love," a closing of endearment for family members and lovers.
