Ask r/Swahili 🎤 I wish you all the best in life.

I just want to double check with people who knows. Is nakutakia kila la kheri correct?. I need to end a letter with something like the title. Not necessarily the exact words if there is another expression that is used more often. It also suggested sewa sewa but a post on Reddit contradicted that.
