Letter closing other than "Love"

Solution 1:

off the top of my head, you could use the old "yours truly" but that is distant and formal. How about "Fondly" or "Best Wishes" and "Have a great day!"

Solution 2:

In a personal letter, while there is some traditional etiquette, you can largely close it however you'd like. Any sort of well-wishing or expression of affection/sincerity is acceptable. A few examples:

• "Best Wishes"
• "Yours Truly"
• "See you soon"
• "Wishing you good fortune in the New Year"
• "God bless"

Anything works really.

Solution 3:

• "Regards"
• "Best Regards"
• "Best Wishes to Your Family"

(I agree that "Love" is not always the most appropriate closing but as long as it won't be misconstrued, I err on the side of using "Love" because it is not "said" often enough!)
