Sincerely yours vs. Regards

Which ones is more polite and educated.

Sincerely yours.
Regards


What are they the more appropriate for a corporative e-mail?

For example in the next e-mail I try to be polite in everything I say

Good morning.

The motive of this e-mail is the IT department will remain close during this next three holidays, therefore if you have problems win your internet service and computers, then you must to call to 01.800 etc.

Please have a good holiday.

Sincerely yours.
Regards.

I will be grateful with your advice.

.
To be educated: for a letter:

To someone you do not know personally: Yours faithfully
To someone you know personally: Yours sincerely

For an e-mail, I don't know. Regards seems good enough.

Yours sincerely is the same than Sincerely yours?

What is the most correct between them two?

I would always write Yours sincerely and never Sincerely yours, but maybe this is just BrE, or just me.
