Grammar

thanks, with thanks, best wishes, with best wishes

I have seen different people end their posts with different salutations (Is salutations the right word here?).
Example:

Best regards

With best regards

Best wishes

With best wishes

Thanks

With thanks

Peace

With peace

Question:

Which one from each of the two alternatives above is correct?
  

Top answer

Each of these is called a "closing" or a "complimentary close". A "salutation" (or "greeting") is the part at the top: Dear Sir , for example. All of your choices are correct, especially for such an informal use as a forum post.
