That would actually be somewhat familiar for a formal letter. You probably wouldn’t use "les plus agréable" here but rather "respectueux" or "les meilleurs". People just copy and paste them from the internet nowadays when they need to use one.

Thank you for correcting me; I was taught this stuff 40 years ago, and memory is unreliable.

I didn't know that actual French people had to google to find the right terminology for a formal sign-off; that just adds to the hilarity.
