In my company, a Test Closure Document contains a checklist of all of the items that must be met in order to close a test project as well as a list of activities that must be performed after the project is closed. This document may include (not an exhaustive list):

BEFORE CLOSING A TEST PROJECT
1) exit criteria is met
2) testing performed against test plan
3) all test cases are mapped to requirements
4) all test cases have been executed unless known and agreed upon
5) all defects addressed

AFTER CLOSING A TEST PROJECT
1) highlights and lowlights
2) lessons learned
3) process improvements
4) test estimation evaluation
5) defect trend analysis
6) properly archive all relevant test collateral
   - test plan(s)
   - test report(s)
   - test data
   - relevant emails
 
In contrast, a Test Closure Report is typically a simple email sent to all relevant stakeholders which indicates that testing

is complete and QA either approves or disapproves the release of the application based on whether or not it had met the

company's exit criteria.  This report provides details which substantiate the "Go / No-Go" decision such as:

- # defects found
- # defects fixed
- # open total defects
- # open by Severity and Priority
- # postponed defects
- # not-run test cases
- # blocked test cases
- Items of concern
