sincerely
From the heart
Sincerely means genuinely or without pretense: I sincerely appreciate your help.
It intensifies earnest statements: I sincerely hope you're right.
The word appears most often as a letter closing—Sincerely yours or just Sincerely—now so formulaic that it conveys politeness rather than actual sincerity.
