Dear Sir or Madam,
...
Yours faithfully

Dear Mr X,
...
Yours sincerely

If you use a name, end with 'sincerely'. If you do not use a name, use 'faithfully'.

If you're writing to someone in the US say "Sincerely yours." "Faithfully yours" sounds archaic to these yankee ears.

In Britsh English, we don't often use 'Sincerely yours', and I don't think I've ever seen 'Faithfully yours'.
