    'Yours faithfully'[note lower case 'f'] rather than y/s, always for any formal/business letters, please.

    Just adding my voice to herzlos and Slithy Tove, #19 and #21. Please follow their advice at this point, which is not yet the moment for real ammo. Save that for the big guns, not the party poppers.

    Its 'Yours Faithfully' when not addressed to a specific name, e.g. Dear Sir/Madam.

    Its 'Yours Sincerely' when addressed to a name, e.g. Dear Mr Bloggs.


    There. I have spoken.

    Yours faithfully (to unknown person on business)
    Yours truly (to slight acquaintance)
    Yours very truly (ceremonious but cordial)
    Yours sincerely (in invitations and friendly but not intimate letters)
    Note that only the first word is capitalised.
