Yours faithfully and yours truly are the British and American equivalents used when signing off a letter to a recipient whose name you do not know.
Yours sincerely or Sincerely yours are used when you DO know the name of the recipient.
Mary Poppins' The Perfect Nanny is an example of how NOT to use Yours sincerely:
"Hurry nanny, Many thanks
Sincerely, Jane and Michael Banks".
