atentamente

/aˌtentaˈmente/ · B2 · adv

best regards

✉️🤝 atenta + mente = with an attentive mind; polite sign-off 'Attentively'

Built from atenta (attentive, from atender, to pay attention) plus the adverb ending -mente (like English -ly). So atentamente is literally attentively, which is why letters close with it, much like Sincerely or Best regards.
