Hi Contrex
The other members are teaching me the way Americans would punctuate.
Talking about the ending of the letter, do we have to insert a comma after 'sincerely'.
Dear Contrex
I thank you for guiding me all along.
Yours sincerely (Is it necessary to insert a comma after 'sincerely'?)

Not nowadays, imho
It's not needed, but it's not wrong to put it in.

I already told you "no". (I think). Neither necessary nor desirable.
Hi Contrex
Excuse if you had already replied to the question.
My heartfelt gratitude for your guidance all along.
Maybe not in Britain, but the comma is common practice in Canada and the U.S.
Thanks, Intrepid.
Americans often differ from the British in English.
I think it is common practice in Britain too, about 50/50. My accountant uses it but my bank doesn't. The choice is yours.
Stumble It!
