Portuguese term or phrase: subscrevendo-nos com a mais alta estima e consideracao
No final de uma carta:
"Queiram por favor aceitar os nossos melhores cumprimentos, subscrevendo-nos com a mais alta estima e consideracao."

Queria saber a vossa opiniao sobre esta frase. Em ingles britanico nos dizemos tudo isto apenas com 4 ou 5 palavras. Acham que seria correcto traduzir toda esta frase so como "yours faithfully"?

British English.

Thank you
