- You never use this saying. If it's a letter to a good friend or a person you are romantically involved with you could put 'forever yours.' When it's an impersonal or business letter you can sign the letter in the most popular manner with is 'Yours truly,' but some people will also use 'Sincerely yours.'
- The first part of this answer no doubt reflects US usage. In UK "Yours ever" is a formula used by some to end a letter to an acquaintance who is a good friend. Like all these formulas to begin or end a letter, it is a phatic phrase which is not meant to be interpreted literally; for example, "Dear Mr Smith" is not meant to imply that Mr Smith is especially dear to you. Where "Yours ever" might be considered too familiar, the usual practice in UK is to write "Yours sincerely", rather than "Sincerely yours", once again this is not an expression to be taken literally, it is just a formula of language.

Is using the phrase cordially yours appropriate?
Cordially: (cordial) 1. Warm and sincere 2. Strongly felt; fervent 3. Serving to invigorate; stimulating.Now that we've gotten past the definition, I see nothing wrong with using the phrase "cordially yours" or "yours cordially". Although it is not as common as it used to be years ago.There are several different "politically correct" views on how to use "yours truly", "truly yours", "yours sincerely", "sincerely yours", "yours cordially", "cordially yours" etc, depending on the type of letter. A business letter, a personal letter, etc.My personal taste is when writing a business letter or professional letter, I use "sincerely" that's it. I'm not sincerely theirs, etc, however, I'm sincere with my letter, so I feel that ending my letters with "Sincerely" will suffice.When I'm writing a personal letter, well, it's personal, so to end with such a drab closing just doesn't suit me. So I personally end each of my letters different depending on the person I'm writing.So, to use Cordially, you would definitely have to have the "yours" somewhere in there, but I see nothing wrong with it, I actually like the nostalgic feel to it, so knock yourself out.Cordially Yours :) (LOL)
