Thank you is slightly more formal. If you want to emphasize your gratitude, or be very polite, you can say Thanks a lot, Thanks very much, Thank you very much, or Thank you so much: Thank you for your kind words.

“Kind regards” is a more formal sign-off than “Best regards,” — and “Warm regards” takes the familiarity a step forward. “Warm regards” is generally reserved for close friends and family and should not be used in professional correspondence.

Other professional letter closings include “sincerely,” “best” and “best regards.”
