more than one answer,
People generally say either 'Ya tebe kokhayu' or 'Ya kokhayu tebe' to say 'I love you'. Since 'love' at the end of your letter really means '(I) love (you)', maybe you can use that. This question has been discussed before, more than one acceptable answer is possible depending on the circumstances/your relationship with the other person, check the glossaries and see what you think. HTH.

із любов'ю - iz liubovju
Sudiachy z kontekstu, "ja tebe kohaju" ne majet'sia na uvazi. Duzhe chasto tak zakinchujut' lysty druzi, kolegy, chy rodychi, tak scho slovo nabyraje pryjatel's'kogo zmistu - "stavlusia do tebe/vas druzhnio".
From the context, it doesn't seem that "I love you" is what's meant. It's a frequent way of ending the letter among friends, colleagues, or relatives (especially in US). So the word "Love" here takes on a "friendship" meaning - "I feel friendly towards you".
