agree Chris Rowson (X) : Yes, though "kind regards" is rather formal, but "Liebe Grüße" is informal to semi-formal. (Note that "Liebe" is "love" - but the phrase leaves open whether love or friendship is meant :-)

neutral John Kinory (X) : Wrong register. The German Liebe Gruesse is very affectionate, whilst your English is rather formal.

Lots of love

since Liebe Gruesse = Loving (or Affectionate) greetings.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Chris Rowson (X) : It´s also used in semi-formal relationships - one of my agencies uses it in emails to me, although it is a "Sie" relationship. It´s delightfully indefinite.

All I can say is, even the very friendliest of my German clients would not even dream of going beyond 'Mit freundliche Gruesse' - I say that from long experience. Yours may be coming on to you :-)))
agree Nancy Arrowsmith : The grduation is from Lieben Grüssen pr Alles Liebe to freundlichen Grüssen to Hochachtunsvoll! )I love to use that when I'm totally pissed off.
