    'Best regards,'

    [Insert name here]

    ....and then a whole lot of corporate shit with my job title, phone number, weblinks to stuff nobody wants and what-not.

    I've noticed people are moving away from this a little, and sometimes just write their name, which can be annoying if you need to call them as I've stopped writing phone numbers down

    Yeah, I have my 17 job titles and mobile and office numbers on my signature as well. No weblinks, though.

        What about "With Regards," I mean, I don't know you well enough to be warm or kind... But I do have regard for your money...

          Sincerely,

          Thank you,

          That's about it for me...

            I normally close out my work emails with:

            Regards,
            With Warm Regards, (personal established relationship)
            With Kind Regards, (Existing client, but not a firm relationship yet)...

            This has confused the heck out of my staff as they just normally don't put anything but their names at the bottom of an email. How do you close out your professional emails?

            I don't. They just end.

            Please love yourself.

              Pretty much all email messages end with an SMTP EOM

              (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol End of Message)

              The EOM signal consists of a CRLF followed by a “terminating” dot followed by another CRLF (CRLF indicates a new line, i.e. a Carriage Return immediately followed by a Line Feed, the equivalent of pressing the Enter key on most operating systems)

              When the receiving server detects the EOM process it will issue a “250 OK” acknowledgment. Once this has taken place we know that the sending server has sent the e-mail, it will then shortly after, proceed to close the connection.

                If I'm asking people to do something it's "Thanks," else it's usually "Best,"

                With my team (upwards and downwards) I typically don't write anything or end with my name.

                    You chaps don't have an auto-signature?

                    God, I don't waste any time worrying about this shit. It's all done by Outlook in accordance with instructions from on-high.

                    I was only joking

                      For more formal communications, I use "yours truly."

                      For something less formal, I use "best regards."

                      When expressing sympathy, "sincerely."

                      For casual things, or short replies, it's just ~[name].

                        Regards unless it’s really informal with a colleague.

                        Only non-witches get due process.
