Hello guys,
I have seen many letters have different ending words such as sincerely,best regard, with much love ect... I don't understand what they mean that's why I have never used them in my letter. The only words I used in my letter are Thank You. I am really appreciated if you guy can give the meaning of these words and when to use it. If you have more ending words, I would more than welcome to see it...
Thank You very much,

In modified and semiblock letters, the
complimentary appears right of center or may
be flush with the right margin.
Complimentary closings for informal letters include:Sincerely, Sincerely yours, Thank you,
Complimentary closings for very formal letters (those addressed to dignitaries and high officials) include:Best wishes, Kindest regards, Regards,

The word "truly" has become a cliche and should be avoided in letter closings.Yours sincerely, Respectfully yours, Respectfully,
Hi,

Here are just a few brief comments.
Yours sincerely - put at the end of a business letter, or a letter where you want to be quite formal.
Best regards - is polite to put at the end of a letter to a friend
With much love - put if you love the person. You can also just shorten it to 'Love'.
Thank you. - is not really an ending. If you want to thank the person for something, write 'thank you' before you write one of the endings above.
After the ending, sign your name below.
Best wishes, Clive

Did that help??
Obviously not to be used in any sort of formal format
There's this girl that knows my interest in her, and it's still there even after our break-up due to some interest-comflict, which was a major influence as deemed by her.
After some time, I emailed her to greet on her. She ended the message with much love, people that I've asked, said that's usually for close friends/relatives or sibling-like. Can that be stayed true as a common theory? I'm having mixed feelings about it.
OR I'm just being too paranoid? Haha. Thanks alot if you could help me out with this one.
