So hotels not only have no thirteenth floor, but no fourth floor, either!

I think these are sophisticated yet caring sign-offs. I don't think I take the "love" sign-off seriously from anyone anymore--so overused (but of course sweet). A past co-worker would sometimes sign her emails to the whole office with "love". She was a real crack -up so it was quite funny. Dearest Neil,

I go for “best” “best wishes” or “warm wishes”. I think these are sophisticated yet caring sign-offs. I don’t think I take the “love” sign-off seriously from anyone anymore–so overused (but of course sweet). A past co-worker would sometimes sign her emails to the whole office with “love”. She was a real crack -up so it was quite funny.

I think Neil's Penis would approve too even though the meaning is different from what you are thinking. I like the British saying: “keep your pecker up” as a good sign off.

Or "Warm and fuzzily, Neil" "Hotly yours, Neil" "Thinking of you with great fondness, Neil" "Feel lucky you heard from me, Neil" How about: “Love (but not in the getting married kind of way), Neil.”

Or “Warm and fuzzily, Neil”

“Hotly yours, Neil”

“Thinking of you with great fondness, Neil”

“Feel lucky you heard from me, Neil”
