atentamente

attentively

adverb ah-ten-tah-MEN-teh Rare
Communication Writing

Also means

sincerely yours

Usage Note

Atentamente serves two distinct functions: as an adverb meaning 'attentively' or 'carefully', and as the standard formal valediction in Spanish correspondence, equivalent to 'Yours sincerely' or 'Kind regards'. The letter-closing use is so prevalent that it can feel overly stiff in informal emails; un saludo or saludos is more relaxed.

Examples

"Le saluda atentamente, el director."

Natural Translation

Yours sincerely, the director.
