How do you "sign off" in your business emails?
-
I'm ready for a new tag line for my business-related emails. (The "valediction", as it's apparently called.) I've seen "Kind Regards", "Cheers", "Yours sincerely", "All the best", etc. etc, but those are starting to sound stale to me and I'm looking for something fresh. So how do you sign-off your formal and semi-formal correspondence? (What final phrase do you use, immediately prior to typing your name?) Respectfully and cordially awaiting your kind reply, I remain sincerely yours, (and Metaphors Be With You), KMote

If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Mostly I just go with a generic "Best regards"
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

For business communication, just K.I.S.S. and polite. I just finish all my external business emails with :
Thank you,
Maximilien Lincourt.For internal business emails:
Thanks,
Max.I'd rather be phishing!

Depending upon the exact nature of the email, I use one of two. For most emails I send from work, I use the one "recommended" :) by my employer:
Quote:
This email and any files transmitted with it are the property of <name of my employer, a health care facility>, are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom this email is addressed. If you are not one of the named recipients and have received the message in error, please notify the sender at (XXX) XXX-XXXX and delete this message from your computer. Any other use, retention, dissemination, forwarding, printing or copying of this email is strictly prohibited and could be a violation of State and/or Federal law.
For emails I send to my peers, I use the "Programmer's Serenity Prayer" by Rex Hammock, which appears at the bottom of this reply.
__________________ Lord, grant me the serenity to accept that there are some things I just can’t keep up with, the determination to keep up with the things I must keep up with, and the wisdom to find a good RSS feed from someone who keeps up with what I’d like to, but just don’t have the damn bandwidth to handle right now. © 2009, Rex Hammock

We have a mature game off 'Change peoples signatures when they leave there workstation unlocked' at the moment. Yesterday every e-mail I sent was signed 'Chief Sandwich Maker'.

Change the fucking font to white and out something about hating gay people in their signature

I say "Thank you". Rarely is it not appropriate. The only time I change it is when the email is a thank you email because then it looks silly. Dear Dude, Thank you for all your help. We really appreciated it. Blaha blah blah. Thank you again for all your help. Thank you, <--- This now looks wierd because of the last "Thank you". Usually just remove that last thank you and its fine. Me I use signatures and it is obvious it is a templated sig, but I do not see why that is an issue. The message is not defined by the closing. Granted, a silly closing will destroy the message, but just keep it simple and you meet all formality settings. (i.e. use "Thank you,")
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

Met vriendelijke groet / kind regards, Sander Rossel The "Met vriendelijke groet" is "kind regards" in Dutch, but as I regularly have contact with English customers I've added the English translation :) We once had a customer who had pretty much the same tag line, but in multiple languages, including Arab. It crashed our email server as we had some custom application running that processed all emails and apparently didn't handle Arab very well :laugh:
