Yours sincerely and Yours faithfully are fixed formal closing phrases placed before the writer's name in official letters. They do not express personal affection, religious faith, or strong emotions. Instead, they act as conventional markers of courtesy and completion. In traditional British correspondence, their use depends entirely on the opening greeting: a named recipient takes Yours sincerely, while an unnamed recipient takes Yours faithfully.
Dear Mr Green,
I am writing to inquire about hiring the community hall for our weekend language workshop.
Yours sincerely,
Elena Vance
