Question

State whether true or false:
For a very formal email, such as job application, you can use the kind of closing that you might see in a business letter such as ‘sincerely’ or ‘yours respectfully’ .
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Hint:Customary expressions want to close a proper letter include many thanks, Sincerely, sincerely, and Yours truly. Less formal expressions like Regards, Best regards, and Best wishes should be used if the author is addressing a business associate.

Complete answer:
This statement is True due to the subsequent reasons:
(i) Complimentary close, maybe a formal leave-taking by the author.
(ii) it's the usual practice of closing the letter in a courteous manner.
(iii) The complimentary close corresponds to the salutation.
(iv) The complimentary close is placed below the body of the letter within the right margin.
(v) it's so-called because it pays a compliment while saying, “Good-bye"
(vi) it's the concluding part of the letter.
(vii) It shows the polite end of the letter.
(viii) the standard complimentary on the brink of a letter is "yours faithfully".
(ix) The salutation 'Dear Sir' has matching complimentary close, ‘Yours faithfully'.
(x) A complimentary close is followed by a comma, like Yours faithfully, Yours Sincerely, etc.

Note: The format of the job application is the same as business application and also the complimentary close should be a formal leave and the complimentary close for job application is the same as a business letter.
