Could you post the valediction (ending part) in the original Russian?
Online translators often twist the meaning, it would help to see the original

im suspecting the original word is "целую" , with the stress at the 2nd syllable, which means (kisses), but the stupid automatic translator put the stress at the first syllable, then it means "whole", i think its called homograph
