Here are some ways people used to end letters, especially in the British Empire, about 50 or more years ago. You may find a number of them quaint enough for your use, and in doing so trigger off a revival :-).

“Yours faithfully” — to someone who is not even an acquaintance.

“Yours truly” — to an acquaintance.

“Yours very truly” — to a friend.

“Yours obediently” — to one’s superior in an organization, or to a customer of a company.

“Your obedient servant” — from a civil servant (e.g., tax officer) to a citizen. No kidding, I did not make this up.

There were quite bizarre last paragraphs that preceded such endings when the letter was from a civil servant. Here are two:

“I have the honour to be, sir,”

“I beg to have the honour to be, sir,”

(British spellings — only the British and their colonial subjects spelled that way.”

A penpal and I have been writing some pretty strange ones to each other lately. I like ending mine by wishing folks “Peace, Love, and Music” (because music=happiness in my opinion πŸ˜‰

He wrote “Peace, Love, and Animal Crackers,”

to which I responded “Peace, Love, and… ah, Green Tea”

Then he wrote, “War, Notlove, and Jones Soda,”

which got “Serenity, Affection, and Harmony” in return. I guess it’s a sort of game now.

Some others:

GaP or Grace and Peace

May the Force Be With You (Star Wars)

Keep on rockin’

Remember, you can’t stop the signal! (Firefly and Serenity)

Namarie (“goodbye” in Tolkien’s Elvish)

Live Long and Prosper (Star Trek)

Hope these have given you some ideas?

Peace, Love, and Music, πŸ˜‰

One of my friends & I often sign our letters Lucy or Ethel, depending on which has done a Lucy thing. (lucille ball). She was a bit wacky, you know.

You & your bud might consider Laurel and Hardy, or Abbott and Costello, or Han and Chewie……………
