sincere via
A number of possibilities here.
For a fairly formal letter, eg. to someone you don't know, I'd usually use 'sincere via'.
Less formally where in English you would use 'regards' or 'best wishes' you could say 'bondezirojn', 'ĉiujn bondezirojn', 'sincerajn bondezirojn'.
To be more affectionate, 'elkorajn bondezirojn' is possible.
People do tend to use literal translations of whichever convention is used in their native languages, which is fine as all are easily understood.
'Sincere bondeziras' followed by your name is an alternative.
For a more chatty note to a friend, how about 'ĝis la revido' or 'ĝis la reskribo'.
