You are Raju living at 151, New street. Old Nagar, Malgudi Mumbai. You have sent a parcel though the India Post from Malgudi post office. Your parcel has been damaged in transit. Write a letter to the Post master, Malgudi Mumbai, complaining about the damage and claim for compensation.
At the end of the letter Raju will write the following for the courteous leave taking.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Yours truly,
The subscription (complimentary close) of a formal letter is a polite, impersonal leave-taking such as Yours faithfully, Yours sincerely or Yours truly. Raju is writing a complaint to an official he does not know, so "Yours truly," suits the letter.
Example: The application ended with "Yours truly, Meena Sharma".
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Yours lovingly, — Incorrect. It shows affection and is used only in letters to family members or close friends.
Option 3: With Love, — Incorrect. This is again an informal close for people one is close to.
Option 4: Meet you soon sir, — Incorrect. It is not a subscription at all, and a complaint letter makes no promise of a meeting.
