Yours faithfully
This is a very formal Portuguese form of signing off a letter. The formality is quite inappropriate in English, in which it is perfectly normal and adequate to say "Yours faithfully" if the letter is addressed to "Dear Sir", or "Yours sincerely" if it is addressed to a named person.

: Sincerely yours is the most appropriate form to end up a letter, because we need to be objective in the business world. That formal sentence is not even anymore used in Portuguese.

With nothing further at the moment, we sign off with the highest esteem and consideration
Sem outro assunto de momento, subscrevemo-nos com elevada estima e consideração."
With nothing further at the moment, we sign off with the highest esteem and consideration
That is the translation - not that anyone would use it in closing a correspondence in English.

Having covered all the points at hand, I do hereby close. Yours sincerely/faithfully,...
"assunto de momento" would be an issue to be discussed at the present moment. "Sem outro assunto no momento" means that all the proposed points have been covered.

Yours sincerely is used after a name, and Yours faithfully is used after a title. So we have:
Dear Fiona/Ms Taylor/Mr and Mrs Smith .... Yours sincerely
Dear Sir/Madam/Sir or Madam/Sirs ...... Yours faithfully
