Letter Writing Etiquette

Hi Gang

I'm having a memory block today and wondered if you could help me out?

When writing a letter Dear Sir, do you close with yours sincerely or faithfully?

thanks

Kxxx

    Faithfully - I remember it as you can't have two S's together in one letter!

    WEES

    I remember it by thinking if you don't have a named person i.e. it's addressed to Sir/Madam then you have faith that it will get to the right person.

    That has reminded me, I have a colleague who addresses all the emails he sends to a certain group distribution as "Dear Sir/Ma'am/Other". I'm still trying to figure out who doesn't fit into either of the first two categories. ?
