Explanation: If this is the original letter - end as you normally would in English - yours faithfully, yours truly, yours sincerely, best regards - whatever the register and target audience - you need to adapt correspondence - so whichever ending and the name.
If this a transcription - then yes, just "signed"

Wouldn\'t include it at all - we never write this way in English and you are detracting nothing from the translation by omitting it, just making it seem like a translation by including it - my view anyhow :-)
Hello Deborah - this is appended to a legal contract and is a letter from one person to another, setting out an additional provision of the contract. After the provision this line follows, with 'Hoogachtend', and the signature.
