best wishes

Warm closing sentiment

Best wishes is a conventional expression of goodwill, typically used to close letters or cards, or offered when someone faces an uncertain outcome: Best wishes on your interview.

It's warm but not intimate—suitable for acquaintances, colleagues, or formal correspondence where "love" would be too personal.
