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
What, you don't speak Klingon? Pfft!
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

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'.
I changed the ring tone of a colleague's phone to Blink 182's Family Reunion then gave him a call when he was in a meeting with lots of people more senior than him.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I usually end with: "...and if I ever hear from you again, I'm going to hunt you down and personally punch you in the throat." I don't get a lot of emails...

I had my ringtone for an acquaintance set as Khia's "My Neck, My Back". Briefly, anyway. A phone's ringtone is remarkably loud in a quiet cubicle farm. Well, I didn't expect her to call in the middle of the day. Sheesh.

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:

To annoy the Dutch guys at a petrochemical company (that shell remain nameless), I used to Open my e-mails with "Groetjes," Then, when they complained (and they always did), I would reply with a (usually Huge!) list of errors they'd made in English.

Still, most Dutch speak better English than the average Englishman/American speaks Dutch (although most don't know the difference between British and American English) :D Some Dutch even spell better English than some English people (and I don't think that's ever true the other way around)!

something about hating gay people in their signature
Is that what 'Fukkphag' means
I'd say it implies something else than hate.
