Russian term or phrase: TCELUYU
translate in english
English translation:(literally) I kiss you
Explanation:
But if it comes at the end of a letter, as it may well do, you would not say this in English; "With love and kisses" would be an acceptable way of putting it, I think.

many kisses (from me)


Explanation:
It's quite uncommon for the UK as far as I can judge, but quite customary for continental Europe & Russia. Good luck, Anonymous! (I hope you'll tell the same about my answer).

Love, (then - the name of the sender)


Explanation:
- this is the most common way to end a leter to a loved one.
"TCELUYU" - literally means "I kiss you"; while it is a norm for russians, it is not so for English-speaking people. They just don't say or write that!
"Love" is the best way to end the letter.
Also, "Forever yours", or something like that, But - NOT "I kiss you"
