OPTION 1
Dear Guest
With regard to your question of the 12th October 2004, I would advise you to start your letter with 'With regard to'.
Yours faithfully
MrPedantic
OPTION 2
Dear Guest
RE: Your question about 'With regard to'.
You could also begin your letter like this, i.e. with a "RE:" line between the greeting and the first line of your letter.
The "RE:" line would be in bold, preferably.
Best wishes

Preferably, the "RE:" line would be bold. (If used at all, preferably should lead, not follow as an afterthought).
The best sentence would be confident: The "RE:" line would be bold.
