Have you got some English expression that would fit this administrative politeness formula? I thought that you English were more sober than we French with that, so that from my point of view, sincerely yours would be suitable...
If this is just a politeness formula, you may be right that we don't even need it in English. If, on the other hand, the person is in fact seeking the approval of the recipient, we should probably leave it as is.
