truly yours
Letter closing phrase
A closing formula for letters, short for "yours truly." It expresses the writer's regard while maintaining polite distance—warmer than "sincerely" but less intimate than "love." The phrase can also be used self-referentially to mean oneself: Truly yours was left holding the bag.
