The use of 'yours' here probably would not have existed in Latin, as it really stands for 'your servant' or some such politeness. On that basis, I offer you,

"Famulus tuus vere sum."

meaning literally and word by word, "Servant your trulysincerely I am." (Latin word-order and grammar are not the same as in English.)
A word of warning, however...
My advice to you - based on past experience of questions involving Latin on AnswerBank - is to check with an 'expert' whatever answer(s) you get here...including mine! For example, if your local secondary school has a Classics Department or even just a solitary Latin teacher, try to get a response from him/her. An alternative is to approach a local Catholic priest.
If someone suggests an online translation site, I'd treat that with even more care than answers here. They are generally much too vague or even ridiculous, unless you are quite knowledgeable about the language in any case.
There should, of course, have been a / between truly and sincerely above!
