Yours faithfully is used at the end of a formal letter if you don't know the name of the person you are writing to, and thus have begun with 'Dear Sir,' or 'Dear Madam'. If you are apologizing, it's much more likely that you know the person's name, and will start 'Dear Mr. Smith,' or whatever, in which case you sign off 'Yours sincerely'.
