I have a few questions about the phrases (captioned) you use to end a letter. Hope you guys don't mind sparing a few minutes.
1) We call "Dear ABC or Hello, ABC" salutations, what about these phrases "yours faithfully..." which we use to end a letter?
2) How would you distinguish between the three: Best Regards, Kind Regards, and Warmest Regards.
3) I've seen somebody writing Faithfully Yours instead of yours faithfully and standing from a literary's point of view, does it or is it trying to emphasize 'faithfully' by 'fronting' so that it sounds more polite? What do you think if you have to state some differences between the two?
THANKS
