Letter Writing
Doubt
When finishing a formal letter, what´s the correct way to write it???
Your Faithfully/Your Sincerely or Yours Faithfully/Yours Sincerely.
The difference is on the "s", are there both correct?
Thanks.

Hello, Sm1le, welcome to the English Forums! I think the right way is with "your s , and for a formal letter I favor "sincerely".

It is always "yours".
The simple rule for this is:
If you start your letter "Dear Sir" or "Dear Madam", then you finish "yours faithfully"
If you start "Dear Mr. ......" or "Dear Mrs." then you finish "yours sincerely"
