此致敬礼 is the standard formal letter closing in Chinese. 此致 goes at the end of the letter body, and 敬礼 goes on a new line. It's equivalent to 'Sincerely' or 'Respectfully yours' in English.
usage
Format: the body of the letter ends, then '此致' on its own line (sometimes at the end of the last paragraph), followed by '敬礼!' on the next line, indented two spaces.
