English translation:explanation and correction...
Explanation:
The correct form is: Me despido
despedirse = say goodbye
tu amigo = your friend

It is a standard form used to closing letters. Like in English there are standard forms e.g. "Best regards", "Yours sincerely" etc.

Since it appears to be a friendly letter, I would just say "goodbye" or just "Your friend".

Explanation:
'SE despide tu amigo' is a common formula, if a bit old fashioned, that literally means, 'saying goodbye, your friend' followed by the signature. You can use your preferred one in English depending on your relationship with the person: Kind regards is my personal choice
