kind regards

Friendly letter ending

Kind regards is a warm but professional closing for letters and emails, positioned between the formality of "sincerely" and the casualness of "cheers." It signals goodwill without excessive familiarity: Kind regards, Sarah.

Common in British English and international business correspondence, it often appears shortened to just Regards in quick exchanges.
