How to understand the phrase"we remain" in the following sentence:
Trusting to be favored with your repeat orders and assuring you of our best services at all times, we remain.
Thanks!
I suspect you did not give the entire sentence.
"We remain" is an outmoded formula for the closing of a letter. It derives from the expression "we remain your humble servants"--it is an outdated formula, and is not used in modern business letters.
.
I think it remains as a part of Indian English business letter etiquette.
