closing phrases
Letter ending expressions
Closing phrases are the conventional expressions used to end letters, emails, or other correspondence before the signature.
They range from formal (Sincerely, Yours truly, Respectfully) to casual (Best, Cheers, Talk soon).
The choice signals the relationship between writer and recipient—Warmly suggests affection, Regards maintains professional distance, Love implies intimacy.
In business contexts, the closing phrase often follows rigid conventions; in personal writing, it can be playful or heartfelt.
