Letter closing

[ramul45]

While closing a letter to my superior asking for review of an order, I wrote as the last para
"Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
.... "

Perhaps there could be alternatives, but is this constructionally wrong? There has been an argument.
Thanks.

While I'm sure that "yours sincerely" is OK, I don't know if "Thanking you" it's truly constructionally correct. I'm but learning how to write formal letters too, and I've never seen this construction in any book or forum.
If I were uncertain I'd have used another alternative.

I usually use "Sincerely yours". It depends on the relationship you have with the intended reader and the culture of your company. You could also use:
Sincerely
Yours
Yours truly

If you opt to use a form of , "Thanking you", consider - "Thanking you in advance" - though I believe this is a bit wordy and uncalled for.

Both "Yours sincerely" or "Sincerely yours" are perfectly acceptable complimentary closings. It's the "Thanking you" part that doesn't quite conform with standard letter writing format. Perhaps instead of "Thanking you," you could construct a final sentence such as "I thank you for your attention to this matter." or "Thanking you in advance, I remain " (and then you'd skip down two vertical lines and add "Sincerely yours".
