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.

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.

Hi.

Last week I sent a fax to a hotel in London in order to book a room and I addressed the letter to such Mrs. X with whom I exchange some e-mails in preceding days.

So, I knew the name of the person I was writing to, but not personally.

I began the letter writing: Dear Mrs. X

and ended with: Yours sincerely

Did I do the right choice?

could please correct this letter or draft in better way pls

Date: 07^th April, 2008
Ref : KCW/101/2008 Al Salem Establishment Safat, 32035. Shuwaikh.
Attention: Mr. Mohammad Amin, Human Resources Manager
Dear Mr. Amin,
SUPPLY OF MANPOWER: REVISED RATES
Further to your letter dated 23^rd March 2008, we would like to bring to your notice that the rates quoted for the supply of Engineering candidates are very low in relation to other companies' quoted fees. Therefore could you please send us revised increased rates for the Engineer category in order that we may supply suitable candidates on time.
Yours sincerely,

Hussain Yatim
Deputy General Manager

This seems odd. Who is charging whom? If you are supplying candidates for jobs, then it is for you to set the charges. If the person to whom you are writing is supplying candidates, then the letter does not make sense.

In response to your query, my intended date of travel is __.

If you need any further information concerning this date, please don't hesitate to contact me.

My phone number is __.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Hi,

Yes, you do write very well.

I've suggested some changes.

Clive

To whom it may concern <<< Never start with this. Say 'Dear Sir or Madam,' if you don't know the person's name.

With reference to your advertisement inserted in the â***â of November 5^th, I should like to apply for the position of Business Travel Coordinator.

As you will see from my enclosed CV, I graduated from the University of *** in 2000 with a degree in Tourism Studies. I also have practical training in all aspects of tourism. I have been working as a European Tour Guide since 1998 for *** Tours, which is based in Spain. Prior to this, I worked as a freelance travel agent. I hold certificates in computer graphics and word-processing. Furthermore, I speak fluent French, Italian and Chinese.

I have a smart appearance, I am friendly, organised and patient and I am used to working under pressure and to a deadline.

As my references show, I have been very popular with many of the clients who specifically asked for me to be their travel coordinator on tours they went on.

I believe the post you offer will give me the chance to strengthen and deepen my stock of knowledge, and that in return I will be an asset to your business.

I will be glad to supply you with any further information you may need and to attend an interview at any time convenient to you.

Yours sincerely,

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

I am going to send a formal request to a software company and I would be grateful if you could tak a look over it. Thanks very much:-)

--------------------------------------
~~To whom it may concern,~~ Dear Sir, (or better yet, try to find the name of the person you need to write to)

My name is ... and I represent a project concerning textmining at the University of ... . Our main aim is to study the basics of textmining and so we would appreciate your support you may be able to lend. We would be grateful if you could provide us with some of your products like MedScan or Pathway Studio for education purposes.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

***
--------------------------------------

When I began to read this, I thought you were going to ask for information about textmining activity at this company, and perhaps for the opportunity to interview the people there who are involved. I was surprised that you suddenly just asked them to give you free stuff.

I think you need to explain more to them about the purpose and nature of your project. You also need to explain to them why they should give you free stuff. Will their company benefit in some way? Will you share with them the results of your project? Will you acknowledge their generosity somehow in your project report?

I recommend that you try to rewrite this.

Best wishes, Clive

Please help me correcting a formal request

charity day

Hello, it's too long to write the title of the task..., I hope somebody can help me correcting it.

I'd be really pleased.
Thank you.
Chiara

Dear Editor,
my name is XY, I have actively taken part in organizing the charity day for the local hospital in Cooper's Park on Saturday.
I'm writing to complain about the wrong information you provided in your article about the event.
For the benefit of the hospital the organisation works for, it is very important that people know the real facts.
First of all I need to say that the organisation never stated that the event would have guested 45 stalls but only 35, of whom only one was missing.
Secondly I wouldn't call a dounpour of rain few drops of water which didn't demage the event at all.
Therefore I totally disagree with your assumption that the event didn't reached its figure target, because, at the opposit, it was a great success for us.
Finally I have to correct the wrong information you provided
about the cost of the event which was lower then what you reported.
The total amount of the organisation cost was only the 15% of which the 10% was for the entertainment and the 5% for the administration cost, so that the 85% of the income, and not the 60% as you stated, was given to the the hospital.
Since your magazine's wrong report can seriously demage the hospital for which our fund-raising events are very important,
we ask you to apologize publically in your magazine about what happen. You would help us to keep on working successfully for the hospital as we did in the last charity day.
Yours sincerely,
XY
