Dear Senior Citizens of the mahalla

Thank you for your idea about the advertising hoardings. We are I going to think about your advice and try to find a good solution. Yours sincerely The Leader of the Mahalla Committee

Language and culture note: In British English if you write the name or title of a person at the beginning of a letter, you close with 'Yours sincerely'. If you write 'Dear Sir' or 'Dear Madam' you close with 'Your faithfully'.

American English uses 'Yours truly' for all.
