kindest regards

Fondest letter closing

Kindest regards is a warm closing for letters and emails, more affectionate than plain "regards" but still professional.

The superlative *kindest* elevates routine politeness into genuine warmth: Thank you for your help—kindest regards, Sarah.

Common in British correspondence and among those who find "best regards" too impersonal.
