How to End a Personal Statement
Determining how to end a personal statement depends both on the purpose of the document and forum or manner in which it is to be used. There are two general types of written personal statements. There is a simple personal statement recounting basic facts, not made under oath. There also is a verified personal statement that is written under oath.

Tips & Warnings
Keep in mind that when you sign a personal statement on your oath you are swearing that the contents are true and correct. If you provide false information in such a verified personal statement, you face the prospect of being charged with perjury. No perjury penalty exists for making a false simple personal statement, a statement not made on your oath.
