When you're in e-mail correspondence with someone, and a formal 'yours sincerely..' is too much, but 'catch you later..' isn't formal enough,
and when you don't want to put the same thing every time you send something,
you need a range of semi-formal phrases to close off the e-mail.
Sometimes I use:
Many thanks.. (if the context fits)
Best wishes.. (but it feels very friendly)
Suggest me some more dudes.
Love and kisses,

Best Regards or just "regards" usually works. It works well for business correspondence.

I am not sure about the formality, but here's a range of useful closing sentences:
Let's forget about it;
See you soon/tonight/tomorrow/never again/in the meeting;
Hope to be hearing from you soon;
Meet you when the prunes are ripe;
Kinds regards;
Gotta go now, I smell something burning from the kitchen;
Oops, disaster happening at work. I'll be in touch;
Hope you've received my bill;
Best wishes and kind regards;
I thought I would never say it, well, goodbye;
Even more informal ones:
Later mate;
Ciao ciao;
Hang in there;
It's been a tough one, good luck.

A business letter, and l see no difference whether it is written or an email, should always end "yours sincerely" if you are writing to them by name eg: Dear Mr. Smith.......
However, if you don't know their name, and you need to say "Dear Sir/Madam", always end with "yours faithfully". You can put "Regards" or "Kind Regards" before "yours sincerely" if you are on fairly familiar terms.
A non business letter but not to someone really close, then "Best Wishes from ...... is fine.
Really close friends??......well what you like.

I've just been to a website where I spent a good 20 minutes reading suggestions. It has a range of formal, informal and slang (as well as a very few downright crude) ideas.

Extremists be attentive to what they have faith and being severe do no longer pay attention to others that think of in yet in any different case. the way the equipment become set up - one has the choice to circumvent others, that is not braveness in easy terms some clicks and no person will hassle you in case you want. The extra brave direction may well be to be open to all, no longer cover.

Kind regards, best regards and regards have become the accepted closings for e-mail. Cordially is another possiblity. Vary them!

Let's see--
Yours in Christ,
Love and Kisses,
Your friend, (make sure to dot the "i" in friend with a heart or smiley face)
heh ok
Try:
Sincerely,
Very truly yours,
Best personal regards,
Regards, (which I personally HATE, but seems to be very popular lately)

If your emailing between friends, then you can simply post your name at the end or your first and last initial. This is what my dad uses for all his emails including business emails and formal ones.
example: Well that's about it.--yn
yn=your name
