Usage Note
Chaleureusement is derived from chaleureux (warm, cordial) and conveys genuine warmth rather than cool formality, so it suits friendly rather than strictly official messages. The root noun is la chaleur, meaning both physical heat and emotional warmth. A common collocation is remercier chaleureusement, to thank someone warmly.
