This is one of those things that I just have a complete mental blockage on - not matter how many times I am informed how to remember the etiquette of letter writing.
Are there easy ways to remember when you should use formally or sincerely at the end of the letter or what other sign offs are appropriate ?
-
Think it is faithfully if you are in hope of a reply, sincerely if not. However, I am more than happy to believe I am wrong!
-
Isn't faithfully formal ( sir / madam type of thing ) ...god knows about sincerely Shrugs:
-
Christ knows then. We didn't cover it at school. redface:
-
The rools about this are no longer as clear as was once the case. Snoopy will have a view when he gets out of his basket
-
Never put two S's together. If it is Dear Sir/Madam, you should end it yours faithfully. If it is Dear Mr Sven, Mrs Sven you should end it yours sincerely
-
lol:
But then I couldn't put Sven and sincerely together could I rubschin:
-
He would have to have 'Love and Kisses'
Simples
-
'In earnest gratitude' or some such other......
Love and kisses takes a long time to work up to whistle:
-
NORWICH?
-
Do what whacky115
-
whistle:
-
'In earnest gratitude' or some such other......
Love and kisses takes a long time to work up to whistle:
"Your Obedient Servant" should do nicely. ;)
[serious]Pirate is 100% correct though.[/serious]
-
I think I can remember the don't put 2 S's together rule now 8)
But why is this so complicated noooo:

I have always used faithfully when it's Dear Sir/Madam or more usually Dear Sirs and sincerely when I'm addessing a person as in Dear Miss Demeanor or Dear Nick.

In which case, you have always been correct. happy088
-
Pirate, DS and Uncle are correct. Dear Sir/Madam etc requires Yours faithfully
Dear Miss D etc should be Yours sincerely.
Dear Auntie should be Love from
Sven should be Yours pantingly or if you follow Nick's advice Yours pantyless
NORWICH = Knickers Off Ready When I Come Home. (Commonly used by soldiers etc when telling wives/girlfriends that they were due a weekend pass but war time censorship prohibited them actually saying so.

John D. Loudermilk Language of Love Lyrics:
Oh two lovers parked on the lover's lane just a
watchin' the stars above They don't have to say a
thing they're speaking the language of love Dooby
dooby dooby doo dooby dooby dooby doo Dooby dooby
dooby doo doo dooby doo doo doo doo
Oh two lovers sippin' on a chocolate shake you can
tell what they're thinking of Their eyes are
saying little secret things they're using the
launguage of love Dooby dooby dooby doo...
Oh two lovers sittin' in English class don't know
what the teacher's speaking of Ain't learned no
English but they're learning fast the language of
love Dooby dooby dooby doo...
