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)

Is Sincerely and Cordially the same?
Yes. they are the same in the sense that you can close a correspondence with either of them. But the meanings are not quite the same, and if you are being painfully careful about and attentive to rhetoric, you may want to consider which is more appropriate, if either, for the correspondence you are preparing.Sincerely means honestly, without deception of any kind. It can also have the connotation of heartfelt or genuine emotion. When you think about it, it is an odd thing to say. If you are sincere, you don't have to announce it; if you are not, then the word sincerely doesn't make it so. But it is an acceptable and standard way of closing a letter. It is far more positive and affirming than 'Yours truly'.Cordially means in a friendly manner, or warmly, but not necessarily with the warmth of a loved one or very dear friend. In fact, the word can imply some distance between the correspondents. For example, if someone has closed letters to you with 'Love', and you respond with 'Cordially', or 'Warmly', you are probably saying 'not quite that hot, friend'. Cordially would usually carry more of a neutral or blandly positive connotation in a slightly more formal or business kind of relationship.
