Need answers tonight! Swedish help...

[JerseyGirl]

Just realized I'm not entirely sure how to write a letter more formally (not going to a friend or loved one)

Do I begin it with "Bästa _______"

and how would I end it?

Something I don't remember learning in class actually.. and it might be something I have to do on my test. And I asked my boyfriend (the Swede) and he isn't sure. Pffft!!!

So I figured asking here will most likely get me the right answers :-D

According to my husband, who has written LOTS of letters, your salutation can be just

Hej!

and finish with

Mvh, which means med vänliga hälsningar, which you can use too if you want to write it out.
