Adjusting the signature between "Sincerely and Name"

Question

I want to placing the signature between "Sincerely and Name". Using the latex commands French Cursive: {\cursive\setul{0.1ex}{}\ul{~~Mickly~~}}

\documentclass[11pt]{letter} % Default font size of the document, change to 10pt to fit more text

\usepackage{newcent} % Default font is the New Century Schoolbook PostScript font
\usepackage{soul}% for the underlining
\usepackage[doublespacing]{setspace}% just to set the samples further apart

\usepackage{emerald}% for 1-4
\usepackage{frcursive}% for 5
\usepackage{inslrmin}% for 6

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

%\usepackage{helvet} % Uncomment this (while commenting the above line) to use the Helvetica font

% Margins
\topmargin=-1in % Moves the top of the document 1 inch above the default
\textheight=8.5in % Total height of the text on the page before text goes on to the next page, this can be increased in a longer letter
\oddsidemargin=-10pt % Position of the left margin, can be negative or positive if you want more or less room
\textwidth=6.5in % Total width of the text, increase this if the left margin was decreased and vice-versa

\let\raggedleft\raggedright % Pushes the date (at the top) to the left, comment this line to have the date on the right

\begin{document}

French Cursive: {\cursive\setul{0.1ex}{}\ul{~~Mickly~~}}

Insular Minuscule: {\iminfamily\setul{0.1ex}{}\ul{~~Mickly~~}}

\closing{Sincerely yours,}
\end{letter}
\end{document}

@MickyK: The only addition would be to insert \includegraphics[height=2\baselineskip]{mysignature} in your code (and \usepackage{graphicx} in your preamble). Of course, you have to go through the process of creating the signature first. That's included in the linked duplicate. — Werner, Sep 04 '15 at 17:54
I think it is not possible to adjust the signature b/w Sincerely and Name — Micky K, Sep 04 '15 at 17:58

The letter class is not easy to manipulate. You should steer clear from modifications if you're not familiar on how to manage it.

Below is a replication of your setup using the default article class instead:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage[doublespacing]{setspace}% just to set the samples further apart
\usepackage{graphicx}

\pagestyle{empty}

\begin{document}

\Large\bfseries\centering

Respected Professor:

JD: \rule[-.4pt]{10em}{.4pt}

Skeetch: \rule[-.4pt]{10em}{.4pt}

Teen Spirit: \rule[-.4pt]{10em}{.4pt}

Tall Paul: \rule[-.4pt]{10em}{.4pt}

French Cursive: \rule[-.4pt]{10em}{.4pt}

Insular Minuscule: \rule[-.4pt]{10em}{.4pt}

Sincerely yours,

\bigskip

\includegraphics[height=2\baselineskip]{signature}

Name% Your name for the signature at the bottom

\end{document}

If you insist on using the letter class, you can insert the signature using

\signature{\includegraphics[height=2\normalbaselineskip]{signature} \\ Name}

@MickyK: Could you elaborate? There is, as you requested, a "signature between 'Sincerely and Name'"... — Werner, Sep 05 '15 at 02:23
Now check the above picture you will find the latex commands, which i want to adjust between sincerely and name — Micky K, Sep 05 '15 at 03:07
@MickyK: Have you tried \signature{\iminfamily\setul{0.1ex}{}\ul{~~Mickly~~} \\ Name}, similar to what I suggest at the end of my answer? — Werner, Sep 05 '15 at 03:17
@MickyK: The \closing and \signature is both set with a call to \closing, and the gap between the two is set to 6\medskipamount (about 46pt). You can change this amount to suit your needs by adding \usepackage{etoolbox} \patchcmd{\closing}{6\medskipamount}{\medskipamount}{}{} to your preamble. The patch reduced the inserted space to just \medskipamount. — Werner, Sep 06 '15 at 16:20
