Answer 2

I'd say: un abrazo fuerte

Answer 3

In friendly personal letters, the following are often used:

Un abrazo,

Un fuerte abrazo,

Un fuerte abrazo de tu amigo,

The ending Un abrazo is often used in business correspondence and even in internal company memos or e–mails, where a friendly relationship exists between the parties.

In letters to family members endings are obviously freer, but some typical ones are:

Un afectuoso [or cariñoso] saludo,

Afectuosamente,

Un beso,

Besos,

Con todo mi cariño,

Answer 4

Thanks alot people you all have helped me alot

Answer 5

Well, techniqually, since fuerte is describing the abrazo, it should come second (following the rules of Spanish).... right? 0.o)

So I would say if you want to be all proper use "un abrazo fuerte", and if you want to be formal and/or affectionate (and it therefore won't be a big deal), "un fuerte abrazo".

Natives feel free to correct me.

Answer 6

I don't think one is more correct than the other. It all depends on whether you wish to say "hugs" (un abrazo), or "a big tight bear hug" (un fuerte abrazo).

Un fuerte abrazo.
