Default Formal Letter Writing

When writing to parents/guardians, how do you end the letter? Is it faithfully or sincerely?

You need to use " Yours sincerely" cos' you know the person to whom you're writing. For example, if you didn't know the person,you would use " Yours faithfully". "Yours faithfully" tend to be more formal.

I wish you had understood me.


Best,
