Not something I have ever heard from my Afrikaaner daughter-in-law. However, now she has been granted British Citizenship we will need to teach her how to speak English properly:
i.e. mispronounced, ungrammatical and full of slang.

No, not in common use among Afrikaaners, except for an occasional, malformed 'tchee-errs'.
Teach her well, all you say you will, please.

For formal letters, the general rule is that you use "Yours sincerely" (or "Sincerely yours" in the USA) when you've addressed the letter by name, and "Your faithfully" when you've used a non-specific address - "Dear Sirs", "Dear Sir/Madam", etc.
word choice - Is it "Yours faithfully" or "Yours sincerely"? - English Language & Usage Stack Exchange[^]
But most email messages don't require this level of formality.
Just try to avoid signing emails to your customers with "love from" or "XOXO".

Thank you for this.
"Your faithfully" sounds very strange for me after consulting http://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/Your%20faithfully but I trust you that it is ok.
[Edit]
I'am a late bloomer, I know it  . "xoxo" I need to test it near to coco (compiler compiler)

As Richard said.
Faithfully & sincerely are formal but the meaning and usage is clear. If an e-mail is written as a letter, I always start Dear X/Sir/Madam/Alien Overlord and add the corresponding salutation. When it is an informal note, I would sign off 'Thanks', 'Looking forward to your ideas/whatver'.

Dear Alien Overlord
Thank you for clarification.
Yours faithfully (facefully?  )

Sounds OK to me.
Maybe I should use that instead of "stuff it".

At the start of my programming career, more than 20 years ago, I used to write:
Byte and Regards
Gradually as I moved up the management ladder, I started using:
Thanks and Regards
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your Input.
So you mean I Need to start with
Bit and Regards

Have you reached the dizzy heights of "int64 and regards" yet?

At least you didn't use "Byte me"!

Herself is cooking a Full English Breakfast for Brunch!
It's gotta be over a year since I last had one (she's on a diet, which means I am too) and I've missed 'em!
Stuff the Granola - I'm having the real thing today.
(And after a morning spent working out SQL SP's to "find all Child" and "find all Parent" rows I damn well deserve it!)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Reading the ingredients of a full English breakfast can one make hungry, but the images on the web are awful  ... You may post one to correct the bug...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

It's never a pretty looking meal - it'd be thrown out of MasterChef on day one - but it's all about the flavours

MasterChef is a hoax, real people eat real food. MasterChef's recipes are too complex, only imaginary people can eat them.

That's one problem. Another is the size of the portion.
Here are some jam droplets served on a cracker made of unicorn flour served on top of a small fillet of *protein of choice* together with a spoon full of *random rare ingredient* risotto.
But most of these competitions are for top end restaurants where you leave with your wallet empty and stomach hungry after going through starter, main dish and dessert.

Oh, I'll eat nearly anything plated as well as on MasterChef, except tripe or tongue no matter how beautiful it looks.

Both tripe and tongue are regional dishes in Italy - they are the poors' rich recipes. Cow tongue doesn't impress me much, while tripe depends entirely on how it's cooked, it can be really satisfying.

Aah, but are you using an adjacency list or nested sets?

Not a full Welsh breakfast?

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
