efully (if a favor has been done)
Yours affectionately
Very affectionately yours
Yours lovingly
Lovingly yours.

The position of "yours" may be at the beginning or at the end, but it
must never be abbreviated or omitted.

If a touch of formal courtesy is desired, the forms "I am" or "I remain"
may be used before the complimentary closing. These words keep the same
margin as the paragraph indenting. But in business letters they are not
used.

6. THE SIGNATURE

The signature is written below the complimentary close and a little to
the right, so that it ends about at the right-hand margin. In signing a
social letter a married woman signs herself as "Evelyn Rundell," not
"Mrs. James Rundell" nor "Mrs. Evelyn Rundell." The form "Mrs. James
Rundell" is used in business letters when the recipient might be in
doubt as to whether to address her as "Mrs." or "Miss." Thus a married
woman would sign such a business letter:

Yours very truly,
Evelyn Rundell
(Mrs. James Rundell).

An unmarried woman signs as "Ruth Evans," excepting in the case of a
business letter where she might be mistaken for a widow. She then
prefixes "Miss" in parentheses, as (Miss) Ruth Evans.

A woman should not sign only her given name in a letter to a man unless
he is her fiance or a relative or an old family friend.

A widow signs her name with "Mrs." in parentheses before it, as (Mrs.)
Susan Briggs Geer.

A divorced woman, if she retains her husband's name, signs her letters
with her given name and her own surname followed by her husband's name,
thus:

Janet Hawkins Carr.

and in a business communication:

Janet Hawkins Carr
(Mrs. Janet Hawkins Carr).

A signature should always be made by hand and in ink. The signature to a
business letter may be simply the name of the writer. Business firms or
corporations have the name of the firm typed above the written signature
of the writer of the letter. Then in type below comes his official
position. Thus:

Hall, Haines & Company (typewritten)
_Alfred Jennings_ (handwritten)
Cashier (typewritten).

If he is not an official, his signature is preceded by the word "By."

In the case of form letters or routine correspondence the name of the
person directly responsible for the letter may be signed by a clerk with
his initials just below it. Some business firms have the name of the
person responsible for the letter typed i
