The complimentary closing should go at the end of the letter in an informal letter.
You should have a quadruple space after the complimentary closing. (4 key strokes of the ENTER key)
After the 'complimentary closing' (Sincerely, With Regards, Yours, etc.) there should be a space before your typed or printed name:Sincerely,What A. Writer

Ideally, a business letter should not exceed one page, including the inside address and complimentary closing. A concise business letter is more effective than an overly wordy letter which can distract the reader or completely camouflage the object of the letter.

In a formal letter, there should typically be one space between the last sentence of the body and the complimentary close. After the complimentary close, it is common to leave a few spaces for the signature, usually three to four blank lines. This spacing helps to separate the closing from the signature, ensuring clarity and professionalism.
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.
Not necessary, but why not?
It should be formal. But what do I know :)
The two kinds of personal letters would have to be formal and informal. The informal letters are for friends and not too dependent on structure or names. The formal letter is for business purposes and should be written as such.
You should place your signature at the bottom of the letter, aligned with the closing and your printed name.
A comma should follow the closing if there is a colon following the salutation.
