Erm.....not really the done thing!
You can add kisses to an informal letter/e-mail/greetings card by adding X. One X is one kiss. This is really only used for lovers/family/close friends or in slightly wider circumstances by women only(?!) for example a colleague's leaving card.
If you want to be really cheesy in a letter to a lover only, put the initials SWALK on the seal of the envelope - it stands for Sealed With A Loving Kiss.
Wouldn't recommend any of these in business though!

No, not for business of course, but to end an Email to a friend, for example?

When it's to a friend (and you're a friendly kind of person) you sign your name followed by three kisses - like this.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I want to know how to sign off a "To Whom it may Concern" letter. Thanks!

To whom it may concern - you don't know the person, so yours faithfully is appropriate.

This is maybe a dumb question: Are there any rules how many x you put under a letter? differences as to friends, family, lover etc?

According to the FCE Cambrige books, the end of a formal letter is usually: Yours faithfully, it can not be inverted, so using : faithfully yours is a mistake. Sincerely yours or Yours sincerely is less formally in UK, however it's correct in US English...

o tempore, o mores! NEVER use 'Best Regards' - it is horrible! Best Wishes - yes; Regards - yes; Kind Regards - if you must. By the way, please, please, please capitalise 'English'!

Why Best regards is horrible? Is there a reasonable reason?
Can I use Best regards in sending messages through email?
Is it suitable to end email message addressing assistant professor by Best regards?
I wait your replies. Reply me quickly,please.
