The rules:
It's 'sincerely' for when you know the people you're writing to (and start the letter with 'Dear Mr _____') and 'faithfully' when you don't know the name (and start with 'Dear sir/madam).
I used to train secretaries.

I always remember it because you have to have faith that it'll reach the right person if you don't say who it's going to at the top.
That being said, I now live in Canada and all the letter writing rules are bolloxed.
