Hi,

I'm wondering when you sign off in a formal letter which of the two is correct?

1) Yours Sincerely or

2) Yours sincerely

Thanks

Small 's'. Only the first word of any complimentary closing is capitalized (unless it contains a proper noun): Yours truly Faithfully yours Best regards Cheers Yours in Christ etc.
