You would only use it with people you knew but not people you had an intimate sort of relationship with, so not best friends or family, more old school friend you haven't heard from for years but used to be close to, you have fond memories of them.</P><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatIsFondRegards/chbwh/post.htm#201865Tue, 28 Feb 2006 17:14:44 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:201865Anonymous3http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatIsFondRegards/chbwh/post.htm#201865http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments5-201865.xmlFond regards means that you like the person and wish to fondle them if you had the chance.<div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatIsFondRegards/brvhb/post.htm#84797Tue, 29 Mar 2005 12:25:52 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:84797abbie19484http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatIsFondRegards/brvhb/post.htm#84797http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments5-84797.xml"Fond regards" implies that you know the person well, and like them very much. It is not appropriate for formal letters. <br /> <br />In England, we might say "she is very fond of horses"; we actually mean she adores horses! <br /> <br />When writing to people we know well, such as family, we often sign our letters "love from ....." <br /> <br />You could send "fond regards" to someone you know well, but not quite well enough to say "love from..". <br /> <br />Hope this helpshttp://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatIsFondRegards/brcqv/post.htmSun, 27 Mar 2005 18:13:47 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:84375cherry20005http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatIsFondRegards/brcqv/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments5-84375.xmlwhat is fond regards? same as best regards?
