Best,
Love,
Sincerely,
Yours Truly,
I have always ended my letters like this:
not sure who I copied this from years and years ago
the summer I was fifteen
my head most likely buried in library books
of some famous person to another
but I did and it has become more than a signature
it's my signature
like a familiar perfume pulling your head across a crowded room
or quirky fashion choices that reverb in tiny taverns
it's me.
who are you?

In the past few months I seem to have adopted Live, Love, laugh as mine and
often I use "always. Bobbi Janay".
I like that "as ever". It's lovely. I dislike "warm regards" immensely. Usually it's "best to you" and more lately it's "go with happiness" because I can't get that Swell Season song out of my head.
I like "always" or "as always."
But for family and friends I generally go with "love." People expect it - and really, you can never go wrong with love. Unless you're writing a thank you note after an interview of course. Then I'm "sincerely" all the way.

check this out. good stuff.
I've been neglectful in letter writing, mostly limiting them to my husband. I end love notes to him, "always and forever."
I adore "godspeed". I don't think I've ever used it but I wish I did. Then again, I also wish I actually still wrote things by hand. Perhaps it's time to get back to it.
godspeed =)
