So 'kind regards' or 'best regards' means something like 'I greet you in a friendly way'. <br /> <br />Regards probably comes from the french verb 'regarder' meaning to look. I guess that it came into English as a way of saying 'I look at you' or 'Hello'. <br /> <br />I hope this is some help.http://www.englishforums.com/English/Regards/wvvn/post.htmTue, 03 Aug 2004 05:13:27 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:40541Guest1http://www.englishforums.com/English/Regards/wvvn/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments5-40541.xmlWhat does Best/kind REGARDS means? It's probably hard to explain, but any help is appreciated. <br /> <br />Thank you
