Un abbraccio (da noi tutti)
Dear Juli,
There's no need to translate literally, really. From personal experience this is a kind, nice way to write that in a letter. Literally "Hugs!", it implies affection and warmest regards. You can add "da noi tutti" if you want the hugs to come from all the family or friends, as in "we ALL send you warmest regards!".
This is how I would put it in Italian :)
Hope it helps,
Flavio

giogi
: right, but the word "amore" doesn't necessarily imply sex!We use to say amore also for maternal love, christian love...

Agreed, but in fact you would qualify "amore" with the adj. "maternal" and "christian". Just to show the difference!
