From the given options, choose the correct way to end a formal letter.

The correct answer is Option (2) → yours faithfully

A formal letter, such as one to an editor, an officer or a company, ends with a polite, impersonal close called the subscription. Yours faithfully is the standard close of a formal letter, especially when it opens with "Sir" or "Madam". Note the spelling yours, with an s.
Example: The complaint to the municipal officer ended with "Yours faithfully, Ravi Mehta".

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: your faithfully — Incorrect. The close is always yours (the possessive pronoun), never "your".

Option 3: yours lovingly — Incorrect. It shows affection and is used only in informal letters to family members and close friends.

Option 4: yours truthfully — Incorrect. "Yours truthfully" is not a letter close in English.
