How would you end a letter to:

Question

1) a casual acquaintance
2) a friend
Is it "beaucoup des amitiés" or "beaucoup des étraintes" or just "beaucoup des saluts"
Merci!

Answer 1

I suppose it would have to be rather:
"Beaucoup d'amitiées" and "beaucoup d'étraintes" and "beaucoup de saluts"
instead of "des"

Answer 2

After beaucoup it is "de" or "d'" but not "des."

This would depend upon just how close you are to this friend. Here are some choices for endings:

Votre ami/e (dévoué/e)
Bien cordialement
Affectueusement
Amicalement vôtre
A bientôt
Recevez mes meilleurs souvenirs
Je vous embrasse de tout mon coeur

Just in case, I used the formal (vous) form but you might select the informal (tu.)

Sra (aka Mme)

Answer 3

Merci beaucoup!!!
