Yes, for more formal situations. When writing to a friend or a family member, though, it's not necessary.

You can say "Love," or "Yours truly," or even just "Sincerely." It depends on what kind of relationship you have with that person now.

Question

What is the right order when using the 3 phrases "sincerely" "your teacher" "the name" - what comes first second and third?

Use them in the order you've listed them. However, "your teacher" probably isn't necessary, as the fact that the teacher is the author should be obvious from the content of the letter.

Question

Could I write the 'sincerely' closing on the right?

Donagan

Top Answerer

You probably wouldn't offend anyone by doing it that way, but it's customarily placed at the left margin.
