I'm sending a hand-written note to someone, and it seems that these days the closing "Sincerely" has been replaced with "Regards" What other closings do you use? Regards, Donna DonnaP99 |

I still use Sincerely. If it's personal, I might use others, more specific to the person/reason I'm sending it, but the good stand-by for me has been Sincerely.

Dear Donnap99
Here what I think:
I assume it is a business letter. so I would put,
Dear Mr smith, or Dear Robert,
Yours Sincerely,
Georgina Morton
Dear sir ,etc
would be
Yours Faithfully,
Depends on who it is and how well you know them. If that helps at all?
Either way
Have a wonderful Christmas!
George.

It really depends how formal the letter is, and how well I know the person it's going to.
I still like "Yours truly" and "Sincerely", but for less formal letters I use "Regards" or "Best Regards".
As long as everything is typed and formatted correctly, I make my own style.
Still a bit of a rebel,
Elaine

If a letter has to begin with "Dear Sir", I use "Yours faithfully" in closing. Otherwise it depends on how well I know the person to whom I am writing. I may write "Dear Mr Smith" and close with "Yours sincerely" or, if I know the person well "Regards" or "Kind regards" for someone I know very well. I tend to "top and tail" my letters too, which I expect is a bit old-fashioned.
