On occasion I need to compose a business letter in Spanish. Usually I am doing this with help from Dominican friends. They often have me writing some pretty bad Spanish--sentences without verbs, runon sentences, etc., and I'm able to catch those mistakes. But it seems like they always start out with Por este medio nos dirigimos a Ud., and end with Sin mas nada. To me it sounds like a nine year old's writing, but I realize that may be me thinking in English. Are these appropriate or not?

The most common and most respectful ending to Spanish business letters is "atentamente." This word is similar to the English "kindly." For a more formal letter closing, write, "le saluda atentamente," or "les saluda atentamente" for a letter addressed to more than one person.

When writing a more casual business letter, close the correspondence with "cordialmente," which is similar to the Spanish "sincerely." "Un cordial saludo" is a similar closing that is appropriate for business letters.

It must be nice to be on the receiving end of a spanish business letter. They are so exageratedly a$$ kissing, its almost funny. Most esteemed mr.... ..it is with extreme pleasure...most cordially salute you... Must be a bit of an ego booster to recieve one.
