When signing a cover letter, use a professional closing such as “Sincerely,” “Best regards,” or “Kind regards,” followed by a comma. Leave a space, and then type your full name. If you're submitting a hard copy, sign your name in ink between the closing and your typed name. For electronic applications, your typed name alone is sufficient.
