The answer

It is from the Sunnah to begin sermons with praise to Allah, and to conclude the Friday sermon with seeking forgiveness. As for writing, it is from the Sunnah to begin it with the Basmalah (Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim), and there is no narration indicating that it should be concluded with specific phrases; rather, the conclusion should be appropriate for the context.
