Question:
A questioner says: Some writers include the phrase "with my sincere regards" or "please accept my regards" in their letters. What is the ruling on such an expression?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. Allah, Exalted and Majestic, says:
And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet [in return] with one better than it or [at least] return it
وَإِذَا حُيِّيتُم بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّوا بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا أَوْ رُدُّوهَاgive greetings of peace upon each other - a greeting from Allah, blessed and good
فَسَلِّمُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِكُمْ تَحِيَّةً مِّنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ مُبَارَكَةً طَيِّبَةً
