Thanks for the help, Morteza!
I wonder if there are alternatives (other good words) to "Yours sincerely" when writing to someone I know, say my teacher, the headmaster of my previous school.
Thanks!

Hi Morteza,
Can you please do yourself and others a favor and spell the word 'u' correctly? Is this especially important when you answer other forum users' grammar and vocabulary questions because they are here to improve their English. When they constantly see words spelled incorrectly they will pick up the incorrect spelling and start making those mistakes too.
Many thanks, Torsten _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

Hi Kwfine,
The usual practice is to end a letter with 'Yours sincerely' if you have started with the person's name as in: Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms Jones'. If you don't know the name of the person to whom you are writing and address them as: Dear Sir/Madam', you would end the letter: 'Yours faithfully'.
