What does yours faithfully or yours sincerely actually mean?  I know what kind regards means though I’d never use it on business letters.

When I was at school we were taught the proper art of letter writing, which follows those rules I mentioned.

Regardless of that, why would you end an official letter, wherein you're threatening to sue someone, with Kind regards? It beggars belief!

You use kind regards initially, then if things don’t improve, you simply put “regards” to show your escalation 🤣

Yours sincerely means "I am yours sincerely".

It is indeed wot I woz tort @ skool.

This geezer don't sound very sincere to me!

But it is also tad old fashioned and kind regards lightens the mood at the end a little. 😁🤣🤣😂

I'm of an age where yours sincerely/faithfully were drilled in - in recent years I've seen alternatives to LnK from those that should know better

Isn't "Kind regards" an example of tautology?  Regards in that context already means 'best wishes', so "Kind best wishes" is excessive.

My tautology pet hate is "for free".  "For" is already short for "in exchange for" and free is short for "free of charge" so "in exchange for free of charge" is nonsensical.  Something is either obtained for nothing or is free of charge.  It can't be "obtained for free", any more that an expensive item can be "obtained for expensive".
