Explanation
In formal letter writing, only the date statement is correct: a date written as '30th May, 2022' is preferred over a numeric form such as '30/05/2022'. 'Your's Faithfully' is wrong because the standard closing is 'Yours faithfully', without an apostrophe and with normal capitalisation. The editor-letter sequence is also wrong because the date is not placed at the end after the subscription. 'Yours Truely' is not the accepted informal closing; the spelling is wrong, and informal letters normally use forms such as 'Yours truly' or personal closings according to context.
