Here is a language question:

What is the formal ending to a letter in French?

[Jens]

Senator Beet: 40

Did he get extra points

 - 5 years of french and I have no idea other that "mille amitiés" but that is too friendly, I think - Vive la France!!!

[JohnFKennedy]

Senator Beet: 40

Did he get extra points

 - 5 years of french and I have no idea other that "mille amitiés" but that is too friendly, I think - Vive la France!!!

Yes he did for being a UAC'er in the Fantasy Forums . Typo .

*Beep* That is incorrect, it would be acceptable in a letter to a friend or a penpal but by a formal letter I mean something such as having to write a letter of application for a job.

I have studied 5 years of French also, just had my French Writing GCSE today and now I will be learning French no more!

In Britain the tradition is to write Yours Sincerely if you are addressing someone you know or know the name of and Yours Faithfully if you don't know them or their name.

Generally the name part isn't used and it is just Yours Sincerely to those you know and Yours Faithfully to those you don't.

Good thing! (as spoken by one who actually makes money of telling people strange facts of history like how many pots and pans the royal kitchens had around 1850)

If you run out of questions, I'm quite willing to surply you with some more.
Topics like:
"Know your post-1945 African statesmen"
"Countries that no longer exists"
"What war?"
and much more

[PBrunsel]

I'm more of a presidential historian. I can tell you things about Franklin Pierce few others could. It's just my hobby.

Well, this isn't just about the Presidency . It is more general knowledge.

[Platypus]

Can you just give us the answer to the bonus question?

Or at least let us guess again?

BTW, for the french letter:

"ma sincere reconnaissance et a mes sentiments distingues,

(Name)"

obviously there ae little lines aboe certain letters, but you get the point. Sometimes, you add "Ameties" before the name.

That isn't the ending I use but it is correct I believe so

*Ding* Correct

The ending that I personally use is:

Je vois prie d'agréer Monsieur/Madame à l'expression de mes sentiments les plus distingués.
