Hi,

You could call it a valediction, but it's a rather fancy word.

Hi

It is sometimes called "signing off". This is a metaphor from radio, when the speaker gives their identity before they stop speaking

And I'll sign off now!..

With best regards, Dave

Friendly letters have five parts:

The Heading: The heading can include your address and the date. In casual, friendly letters your address is not necessary.
The Salutation (greeting): This usually begins with Dear_________. The blank is for the name of the person you are writing. After you write the person's name you put a comma ( , ) .
The Body: The body of the letter is the information you are writing in your letter.
The Closing: In the closing the first word is capitalized and you put a comma after the last word.

Some examples of closings are:

Sincerely,
Your friend,
Love,
Very truly yours,

5. Your Signature: This is your name. It goes under the closing
