It is not traditionally acceptable to use an exclamation mark instead of a comma in the closing of a formal letter. A comma is the standard punctuation mark used in closings such as "Sincerely," "Regards," or "Yours truly." An exclamation mark may be seen as too informal or overly enthusiastic in this context.

Is there a capital letter after exclamation point?
If you use an exclamation point, then you've probably just ended a sentence. For instance, "I won the lottery!" If you end a sentence, then the next sentence must begin with a capital letter (usually). There are some different uses of exclamation points as they relate to capital/lowercase letters. For example, if you're writing, "I won the lottery!" the next sentence would logically begin with a capital letter. So you might say, "I won the lottery! I'm going to buy a new car." BUT, sometimes the rules can change. In Shakespeare, for example, one-word interjections followed by exclamation points are often followed by a lowercase word. For instance, one might say, "Lo! he is swooning with love." Or, if you're quoting someone as saying, "Hey!" then your sentence might be something like this: "'Hey!' he said." Usually, though, you can assume that your next word after an exclamation point should be capitalized.
