Another vestigal holdout from early letter writing is the concluding "Sincerely" or something to the effect of "...Yours". It's assumed you're being sincere, and you generally don't belong to most people whom you write, much less e-mail. Sincerely Yours, Charles W. Stricklin Dear Mark,

I, too, have always been bothered by beginning a salutation to those I don’t hold dear with the word “Dear”.

Another vestigal holdout from early letter writing is the concluding “Sincerely” or something to the effect of “…Yours”. It’s assumed you’re being sincere, and you generally don’t belong to most people whom you write, much less e-mail.

Sincerely Yours,

Charles W. Stricklin
