Letter Endings, Letter Closings

Have you ever felt it's boring to use the same letter endings or letter closings over and over again? Sometimes, a good, flippant closure does not come naturally, so it's always useful to have a list of possibilities at your fingertips.

Informal Letter Endings 

Letter endings that I think are friendly and less formal - something I would use to close a letter to a friend:

• Always in my thoughts,
• As always, with affection,
• Be well,
• Cheerio,
• Cheers,
• Chill,
• God Bless,
• Peace, Love & Happiness,
• Rock on,
• Season's blessings,
• See ya,
• Take care,

Formal Letter Endings

Some of the letter endings that I consider formal and less friendly. They are good for closing business letters:

• Best Regards,
• Best Wishes,
• Cordially,
• I look forward to hearing from you soon,
• Kind Regards,
• More Shortly,
• Truly,
• Yours Faithfully,
• Yours Sincerely,

Love Letter Closings

Letter closings that are good at the end of love letters or letters sent to a loved one:

• Eternally Yours,
• Kiss ya,
• Kisses,
• Hug ya,
• Love you so much,
• Love always,
• Lustfully yours,
• Xoxo,
• Missing you already,
• Missing you every moment,
• My heart belongs to you always,
• Sending you all my love,
• Soon to be your wife,
• LYLC = love ya like crazy,
• Hugs, kisses, and gropes,
• I could eat you!
• Bjocas (kisses)
  

Funny Letter Closings

Letter closings that are funny or a bit unusual:

• May the Force be with you,
• Yours 'til the cat meows,
• Rock on,
• Hugs and pogo sticks,
• Hugs, kisses, and broken fingers,
• Keep your stick on the ice,
• Shine on,
• May I always live to serve you and your crown,
• Yours til the cow moooooooss,
• Forever and always or is it?
• Your Majesties exiled servant,
• Au revoir
• Go with God
• Vive la revolution!
• Did you fart?
• Don't sweat the petty things, just pet the sweaty things
• See you in the inbox,
• Happiness is a choice,
• Take care, comb your hair,
• Fica bem (live long and prosper)
• saudades (I miss you.)
• Peace, love, and vitamin c,
• Plant you now, dig you later,
• Yours till the amusement parks,
• With trepidation,
• Go forth and multiply,
• Till death do us part,
• OMG the dogs on fire,
• Your pet,
• Only you can prevent forest fires,
• Catch you on the next bounce,
• I'll leave you to it,

These are great creative letter salutations. I wish I had them when I wrote letters.

I have also used "Your Dearest PIC, aka partner in crime, or what about "God save the Queen"

Cindy Letchworth from Midwest, U.S.A. on August 12, 2011:

I love your funny closings...especially the one that says OMG the dogs on fire...very clever! I have a co-worker who always says Rock On...she would like that one.

Good information. Thanks. I may try to use all of fun ones, depending on the contents and the contact.

Haunty (author) from Hungary on February 09, 2011:

If you think I'll respond to this you're mistaking me for a nice guy.

Selina Kyle on February 08, 2011:

bahaha I think that might have been me.... Now respond to me!

Haunty (author) from Hungary on February 08, 2011:

Someone once said it's nice to say something in response to each comment that you get. This is my best performing hub. Receives 1/3 of all my page views. Sorry, if you are not interested. ;)

Selina Kyle on February 08, 2011:

Audrey Kirchner from Washington on February 16, 2010:

Very cute - I would probably add 'screw you' depending on my mood or who the letter was going to - okay - probably not but I'd be thinking it! Will have to copy some of those down though for future reference....

Haunty (author) from Hungary on February 16, 2010:

Alison, out of nowhere! Didn't realize you were back. :)

Al Hawkes from Cornwall on February 16, 2010:

Hi Haunty,

This is great, ending a letter always takes some thought.

Did you fart? haha

Haunty (author) from Hungary on February 15, 2010:

Nice to know. :) Thank you very much, missmaudie.

missmaudie from Brittany, France on February 15, 2010:

I'm bookmarking this one Haunty for future reference. Of course living in France I also have the option of cher, chère to start. Want to know what yours sincerely is in French? Thought so - veuillez agréer, Monsieur, Madame, l'expression de mes sentiments distingués. Phew! Living in Brittany I can confuse people with Kenavo the Breton word for goodbye. Kenavo then :)
