We received this question from a reader:

How would you end a letter sent to the IRS. It is staight to the point but yet thaks them for their time and attention to this matter.

Platiro in Colorado

Our response was the following:

Dear Platiro In Colorado,

Thank you for your question.

I would say that you are on the right track; just follow your instincts in this case.

In one sentence, you would thank the reader for his time and attention to this matter. On another line, you would follow that up with an appropriate salutation, and on another line conclude with your name.

I hope that helps.
