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

Yours sincerely and Yours faithfully

In the UK, traditional valedictions have been mainly replaced by "Yours sincerely" or "Yours faithfully".

(Do not paste and copy lengthy material without citing references-- MM)

I personally feel that Kind Regards or Best Regards sounds cold and distant. Yours Truely.....or anything starting out with YOURS is to personal. A simple Thank You is warm, professional, and friendly.

Re: Shall I write my name and address at the top right side of my Motivation Letter..?

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.

The expression "yours faithfully" isn't old fashioned. It applies to any letter where the recipient is unknown. Hence, if you begin with Dear Sir/Madam you end with Yours Faithfully. If you know the person in a formal context, or at least their name/sex, then you write Yours Sincerely or Sincerely. Ergo, if it is a letter to a lecturer, it would begin Dear Dr. Euripides and end Yours Sincerely. In cases where you are on a first name basis with the recipient, you can then use a more friendly context specific greeting: kind regards, best wishes, all the best, etc.

Fact.

Re: Please correct my email to a doctor

Cool Breeze — Sat, 05 May 2007 08:57:03 GMT

Hi Kaizar

I have corrected only some obvious mistakes in your e-mail. A native speaker might want to make additional changes but I'll leave it up to you to decide about them. I understand that you may want your message to reflect Indonesian culture and ways and that's why I have left some expressions untouched even though they may not be very 'British' or 'American'. Please choose one of the underlined alternatives. You can leave out what is in square brackets [].

urgently need advice on my motivation letter!

Boba — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 09:37:15 GMT

Hi,

I hope someone will read through this and give me comments...i am confident with my spellings and grammar (except, I am not sure whether subjects (eg. Molecular Genetics) are capitalized or written in small letters) but its more about the content. Does this include everything required in a motivation letter? Do I sound motivated and qualified? Do I make a positive impression? This letter is really important for me.. I would be happy about any comments! Thank you!

Dear Dr ***,

Herewith I would like to apply for the Prestige Master's Program Cancer Genomics and Developmental Biology at *** University starting in September 2007. I am a forth year student at the *** University. Currently I am working on my final thesis to obtain the BSc degree in Life Sciences. I will graduate in August 2007 and I would like to continue my studies focused on Molecular Genetics and pursue the MSc and PhD degrees.

I first became interested in the field of Molecular Genetics from my theoretical classes for Human Molecular Genetics and my project work â¦ during the 2^nd and 3^rd years at the university. Through my internship at the biomedical genetics department, I confirmed my belief that this is the topic I want to study and I want to focus on. With the newest developments and advances in technologies, data about the human genome are mounting. We are provided with powerful tools to study the role that genetic factors play in complex diseases such as cancer. I believe that genome-based research will enable us to develop more effective diagnostic tools and lead to the advancement in adoption of personalized medicine, and it is my future goal to make a contribution to this development.

Given my interest and experience in the field of Molecular Genetics, I am eager to deepen my knowledge and to specialize in Cancer Genetics, and furthermore to widen my knowledge in cellular mechanisms involved in cancer development. The MSc program offered at your university gives me the opportunity to widen my view in both, fundamental and disease-oriented aspects of Biomedical Genetics. This study program particularly attracts me owing to its international environment. I have been studying in an international class during my BSc program, which I enjoyed very much. However, I experienced that working in an international environment is not the easiest when it comes to team work. Working in a multicultural study group gives me the opportunity to further challenge myself in social aspects which I think will be of great importance for the future career of a scientist in this field.

Besides theoretical knowledge, I have learned and applied various laboratory techniques such as PCR-based methods, expression cloning, cell and tissue culture and array-CGH during my study at the university as well as during my internships. I am acquainted with the principles of several other laboratory techniques and I am confident in my practical skills. Furthermore, I have experiences working in project groups in which I learned to work as part of a team to solve problems through co-operation.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my application for the Masters program at your university. I hope that you will be persuaded of my potential to perform well on this program. I can be available for an interview at any time and look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

***

I have to say I agree, but yet, disagree with some points about e-mails. At work, I do probably between 3-5 e-mails a day; sometimes more, for communication, acknowledgment and âCYAâ purposes. With the nature of the business being different, I donât think we can use a fixed generic closing expression for all purposes. For matters relating to business, the most commonly used are [best regards], [regards], [warmest regards], and [sincerely] which is the least seen in my observance. [Respectfully] sounds too cheesy and [faithfully] is too personal for my taste. In any case, each of us may have a slight interpretation and perception of each closing expression. Use your own judgment and pray itâs the right one! For those who are still feeling fogging about closing line and expression, Below is something thatâs worth checking out. It may help clear some of your questions. As far as e-mails are concerned, I think they serve the purpose as documented evidence and proof. People tend to be more liberal with words which they may not use otherwise in person because the negative effect is not immediately felt. That's just my two cents.
