Well, I'm a Finn too. I personally use a bi language approach:

Terveisin/Regards,

My Name
Contact details

Terveisin means about the same as Regards. Semi informal ang commonly used in emails.
Regards = Terveisin => terv. (informal) ==> t. (very informal)
Kind regards = Ystävällisin terveisin => Yst. terv.

Well, I'm not sure "the one which is not used by many" will always be the most appropriate, Anon.

Why not use "Kind regards"? No one can complain, if you regard them kindly.

Being norwegian I would probably prefer the first few incomming business emails to be ended by "Kind regards" and then quickly becomming less formal. Especially after I have met the sender in person I would prefer an informal ending...

Hello Ne,

You need to be more specific in how we can help you. My first piece of advice would be to use a dictionary. If you have difficulty with a specific sentence, let us know.
