Selected
Accept, Sir, the assurances of our/my highest esteem and consideration.
This is a diplomatic formula used by the U.S. State Department. I provided background on this same question in Spanish, which was accepted as the correct answer.

português term (edited):
Queira V.Sa. aceitar a express�o de nossas distintas sauda�es
Sincerely
This is a typical salutation formula of romance countries. Don't translate it. If you want to be really old fashioned, use "Sincerely". Today, you'd normally put "Best regards".

Queira V.Sa. aceitar a express�o de nossas distintas sauda�es
Yours faithfully
This is indeed just formal boilerplate for the end of a letter, and not to be translated. Yours faithfully is the most formal signing off in (British) English; Yours sincerely is slightly less formal.
Peer comment(s):

Doris Cook
: In the US: "Yours truly" (and less formal would be "yours sincerely").
