Write a closing paragraph. The content of this paragraph will depend on the purpose for your letter. You can sum up feelings or thoughts expressed in the letter, request a follow-up conversation or let the recipient know when and how you will be in touch again. You can also use the closing paragraph to thank the recipient for his time.
Decide on a closing sentiment. You can close letters to family, close friends or others you love by writing "With Love," "In Love" or simply "Love." The phrases "Take care," "Yours truly," "Sincerely" or "Warm regards" can be used to express care and sincerity, or in situations where the word "love" is not appropriate. Other closing sentiments include "Blessings," "Best wishes" and "Thank you." Follow the closing sentiment with a comma.
Sign the letter. If you have composed the letter by hand, skip a line and then sign your name -- either first only or first and last names, depending on your relationship with the recipient. If you have composed the letter using a word processing program, it is customary to skip two or three lines and then type your full name. Once you print the letter, you can sign your name in the space between the closing sentiment and your typed name.
