Which is most appropriate in ending a letter: “Thank you” or “Sincerely”?
Kristine Z, Florence, MA
Answer: As the complimentary closing of a business letter, always prefer “Sincerely.” “Thank you” can be used as the last “sentence” of a letter — appropriate when you actually have something for which to thank the reader, it cannot replace the complimentary closing.
