I guess its just a tad sycophantic for my taste 
TBH I find the start harder than the finish. Ive now resolved to just saying 'Hi' as opposed to 'Dear' 
actually, many legal letters i've dealt with have these so there I go guess they do for the magistrates and judges to give more consideration
and why not just start

I guess thats why I find a hairy arsed building site managers signing off like that so offensive then
As for Sir/madam?
Far, far too formal for my circumstances tbh. I always insist (regardless of the circumstances) that people call me Jules, not Julian.
And within all the serious management stuff I have to deal with as a project leader, I try to keep things as totally informal as possible. Ive even popped out of majorly important meetings to buy ice creams for all the attendants.
Informal seems to work for me

Site agents are treat like labourers though it's the regional MD's and the build directors you have to kiss ass to.

I never email members of the public so would usually end emails with 'Many thanks'. Unless I know the colleague very well then just 'Cheers'

e-mails should always end in Regards or Best Regards, Best Wishes is also an option.
Faithfully, Sincerely and all the rest of them should only be used in letters.
