s uctou (fraza na konci listu)

Actually - before the horse is completely dead :) The reference that Maria gave below http://orthodoxinfo.com/praxis/clergy_etiquette.aspx yet for some reason did not suggest as an answer is interesting: " When we write to a clergyman (and, by custom, monastics), we should open our letter with the greeting, "Bless, Father." At the end of the letter, it is customary to close with the following line: "Kissing your right hand...." It is not appropriate to invoke a blessing on a clergyman, as many do: "May God bless you." Not only does this show a certain spiritual arrogance before the image of the cleric, but laymen do not have the Grace of the Priesthood and the prerogative to bless in their stead. Even a Priest properly introduces his letters with the words, "The blessing of the Lord" or "May God bless you," rather than offering his own blessing. Though he can do the latter, humility prevails in his behavior, too. Needless to say, when a clergyman writes to his ecclesiastical superior, he should ask for a blessing and not bestow one." But this would only be appropriate if the clergy in question are members of the Orthodox Church.

I'll get my coat now.

It says:
Christian clergy often use Yours in Christ, Sincerely in Christ, or Yours sincerely in Christ.

But it does not say that every clergy in the world must use only these. It says - often - not - always.

This one used - S úctou

This one used - Respectfully yours - look here

And this one used - S úctou ku Kristovi... - look

So if some clergy decides to use a somewhat different phrase, can the translator change it? The translator is not a copywriter, although I know very well that it is not that easy or straightforward.

the link you are looking for is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valediction and scroll down to 'miscellaneous' - as I posted in my answer below :)

but

other similar versions should be OK too. However, the correct use of sincerely/faithfully may depend on the salutation, that is if the salutation contains a name or is like Dear Sir, etc.

definitely yes! Dušan

yes - 'Respectfully Yours in Christ', as per the link I posted below

... it could say "Respectfully.....XYZ"
Opinions?
