Closing for a letter when I don't want to say "Sincerely" or "Regards" - Zoidberg - 12-02-2009
Letter to a mortgage company which is in the process of continuing to screw me (re/my old LA house damaged by Katrina). I certainly don't want to say anything like "regards" or anything, and can't say "piss off". Nor can I say Boomshanka. (bonus points if you know the reference without googling it)
Suggestions?

buggeroff? Maybe their not up to snuff on the British idioms.

Don't include a closing. Just put your name after the last paragraph.

Yeah, what clay said is what I'll likely do.

"Cromulently yours,"

The closing is meant to be polite. Why be polite?

I would use sincerely. Both to be polite as suggested by $tevie, and because if this ever ends up in Court it will look better that way.

"Aggrievedly yours" ought to do it. Or "Disgruntledly."
Or with the last sentence you could say "I am expecting a prompt and dissimilar reply to the one I just received.
"Zoidberg."
Edit: Geez, my spelling.

The odyssey my wife and I have trekked through thanks to this company really gives me the right to spit fire at them. But I'll stay civil.
