When is "saludes" instead of "saludos" correct for a closing salutation?
When is "saludes" instead of "saludos" correct for a closing salutation? My instructor says the implied subjunctive "saludes" is better for closing an email or letter to friends, "saludos" is better for a formal closing salutation. My long time friend who has studied and spoken much Spanish in South America says no-never-nunca to any use of the the word "saludes" as a closing salutation.
Muchos Saludos or Muchos Saludes

Apparently in Ecuador:
R A E:
saludes.
(De salud).
- f. pl. Am. Cen., Col. y Ec. saludos (‖ expresiones corteses). Les traigo las saludes de los amigos. En Ecuador, u. t. c. m. pl.
Interestign question and very good answer by lorenzo. My instinct was to tell you the same as your friends, saludes is incorrect. However, as you can see, it is a regional variety and if the "bible" RAE, says so, it is correct
