	dokterjokkebrok  +  943184 Thu, 15 Oct 09 02:45 PM Hi Yours faithfully (or faithfully yours) seem too informal to me. If you really want to impress them, I'd recommend: I have the honour to remain, Sir, with the greatest respect, or if it's a woman:  I have the honour to remain, Madam, with the greatest respect, There are probably multiple variants on this one.  Regards Dokterjokkebrok  dokterjokkebrok Joined on Sun, Jun 21 2009 The Netherlands Full Member 233 "Experience is the name we all give to our mistakes."

	dokterjokkebrok  +  943197 Thu, 15 Oct 09 02:59 PM Having said that, I think I have the honour to remain, Sir, with the greatest respect is perhaps a tad too formal and pompous if you are writing to a politician of your city council.  I'd think it fits best for a letter addressed to a President or royalty. Perhaps a teacher can give you a more suited one for a 'common' politician. Yours faithfully (or faithfully yours) would in that case suffice, I think.
