Options:

Sir/Madam

Subject line

Yours faithfully

Enclosures

Correct Answer:

Yours faithfully

Explanation:

The example of a 'complimentary close' in a letter is:"Yours faithfully".

Here's why:

  • A complimentary close is the formal sign-off used at the end of a letter, expressing respect and good wishes towards the recipient.
  • "Sir/Madam" is the salutation, not the closing.
  • "Subject line" is the brief summary of the letter's topic, not the closing.
  • "Enclosures" refers to any additional documents attached to the letter, not the closing.
