Post Same question in point form

OK maybe my question about signing off letters was a bit too... general.

How's this then?

Question no.1

would you be able to tell me when to use the following singoffs?

Sincerely,
Yours Sincerely,
Sincerely Yours,
Regards,
Best / Warm / Kind Regards
Yours Faithfully
Faithfully Yours
Cheers
And if you know any other ways of signing off feel free to mention them.


Question no.2

Many signoffs with 'yours' in them sound like 'I'm dedicated to you' or 'I'm all yours' to me. I know they don't really mean that when used as signoffs but why use phrases that don't really mean what it literally mean? Any story behind it?


I'd really appreciate any input on this. As always, thank you very much.
