You can also use, "Sincerely yours." They are all interchangeable! Two other ways you can formally end a letter are:
Regards / Best Regards / Kind Regards and Respectfully / Yours Respectfully / Respectfully Yours

Again it is acceptable, but not really a practiced habit. You can use "Yours" by itself, but that is a relatively more informal use. "Sincerely" can be used in any situation.

Thank you for your suggestion! I've also heard that "yours sincerely" also used as an end for emails start with names like "Dear Ms/Mr XXX". Is this rule correct? Thanks
