Re: how do i end my letter?...yours sincerly, yours truly, sincerly, tha.......

Daniel i'm not sure how to end a letter like that but i'm thinking along the lines of Academically Yours. Also it's sincerely not sincerly. I don't see a problem with you not taking twelfth grade as long as you graduate with a high G.P.O. you should be fine. Many students complete school early by getting a G.E.D. i'm not stating that it's good. Due to a life altering situation i had to graduate early and now must go through community college before i can even think of anything else.

I wish you luck,
Lisa

Hi,

Please find below the email from Mr. X. (or you could just say 'Here is the email from Mr.X'.) This was the subject I discussed with you this morning. Please send a letter to the maintenance department so that they will arrange to do the repair work in the bathrooms.

Best wishes, Clive

Re: write me vs. write to me

Whether e-mail, letter, post card/postcard or whatver you are writing is countable or uncountable is of no consequence. It all depends on the verb.

I'll send you a letter. = I'll send a letter to you.

I'll write you a letter. (Common in AmE.) = I'll write a letter to you. (Preferred in BrE in the old days. These days American usage may have influenced the British and the American English version may not sound so American to them any more.)

Cheers, CB

Signatures on Letters

Anonymous — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 17:51:34 GMT

I am a Property Inspector. Obviously, I carry out property inspections and then send a letter to the property owner informing them of my inspection results.

There are other property inspectors where I work, including my immediate superiors, whose job is to conduct subsequent inspections of the same property. However when they send their inspection result letter to the property owner they sign the letters with my signature block. I am never informed of the fact that they have written a letter and used my signature block.

Is this practice legal ?

Interview letter URGENT!!

I have to make a presentation for school. A interview must be included. I've written a letter to Harrisson Ford. But it's full of wrong spellings etc. HELP ME PLEASE!! I must send it in about 2 days!!

Harrison Ford

Dear Mr. Ford,

I am Jort Rodenburg, 13 years old and living in Burgum (a village in The Netherlands). For school I must make an presentation of a famous person. Also there must be an interview included. And as a great fan of you, I thought immediately: Harisson Ford!

I just cannot wait to see the new Indiana Jones movie. The movie shall be released at 22 may 2008 here in The Netherlands. Also Star Wars was a great performance and I think it is rare that you didnât received an Oscar nomination for the part of Hans Solo.

I have a few questions for my interview. I hope you will answer them. It would help me a lot.

What was your first acting experience?

What is your favorite movie?

Do you have an idol?

Which person you always wanted to work with but didnât worked with yet?

Could I have an signed autograph of you to show in my presentation (and as prove that I really send a letter)?

Yours faithfully,

Jort Rodenburg

I wish to send a letter from a lady I work with. Do I sign it with a pp and then her name or do I put my name?

Hi Tamguatlay,

I am not Nona, and you probably won't trust me because I'm not a native speaker of English. I only wanted to share my experience, which can add something to the topic.

As an ESL student of BrE, I was taught to end a letter with "Your faithfully" when it addresses an unknown addressee (i.e., when it begins with "Dear Sir or Madam") and with "Yours sincerely" when you know his/her name (i.e., the letter begins with "Dear Mr/Ms/Miss [+surname]").

However, during my year in the UK, I saw the expression "Your faithfully" only twice, in two letters written by members of my University staff. Funnily enough, the first one began with "To whom it may concern" (another extremely rare expression ) and the second with "Miss [+ my surname]", two opening formulae I was taught NOT to use, when having classes ... none of them actually began with "Dear Sir or Madam"! Both the letters I mentioned (I've still got them) come from a University, so I'm obviously not talking about illiterate writers.

Another thing I can say is that my British teacher on the one hand strongly advised us to close formal letters in our CAE and CPE exams with "Yours faithfully" or "Yours sincerely" (depending on the circumstances) because those were the expression the examiners were looking for. On the other hand, he also warned us that these day most people, also in the UK, will close those letters with "Sincerely", "Regards", "Kind regards".

If my experience is anything to go by, what we learn sometimes can differ from what is actually done nowadays, just as Clive said.

Re: Best regards, Kind regards, or Yours sincerely, - which is correct

A friend of mine sent me an email last night and ended by "My Best", her Name. I personally feel that she likes me.

I have never seen anyone end a letter or e-mail with "My Best" and have heard Academics end with "Best".

You are right MrP, it's very disconcerting when someone ends with Best and in my case its even more because she has ended it with "My Best". I'm dying to figure out what she actually meant. So, it would be great If you guys can solve the mystery of what "My Best" means. Thanks

Re: tense

Clive — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 21:29:24 GMT

Hi,

Can a past tense work, as well as the one used, the present perfect, here -- when we have a phrase 'for the last three weeks' or a similiar one thereof?

I have written my friend a letter every other day for the last three weeks.

I wrote my friend a letter every other day for the last three weeks.

I wouldn't say it's wrong, although it sounds a little strange to me. However, by dropping the Preent Perfect, you are dropping the meaning of 'this has some importance to the prsent situation'. In other words, you are changing the meaning.

Best wishes, Clive
