Cultural Note
Abbreviated as 'mvg' or 'M.v.g.,' this is the standard professional email and letter closing in Dutch. It strikes the perfect balance between formal and friendly. In casual work emails, 'groet' (regards) or 'groetjes' (little regards) are increasingly common. 'Liefs' (love) and 'xxx' (kisses) are reserved for close friends and family.
