Thanks,

Best,

Regards,

I've been doing "thanks" for 5 years, but it's not appropriate in all instances. Where not appropriate to say thanks, I usually just sign my name but that seems too short.

what say you ATOT?

Kind Regards,



I never use thanks/thank you unless I actually have something to thank someone for.

auto-signature:

Name
Title/Department
Phone Number + ext

when appropriate, I'll sign it "Thanks,". otherwise, no closing and just go straight from the email body to my auto signature with a couple line breaks.

looks like I'll have to change up my style to "Regards,"

i always say thanks. it makes sense in all cases because it can be a thank you for something they did or for simply taking the time to read the email. regards/best regards/anything remotely close to that sounds like the person is from india and they're trying to sell me something or help me reboot my router.

Nothing, sincerely, thanks, or regards. Depending on what I say in the body of the email, I hate redundancy.

srsly? ^_^

All of IT, yes.
there are 1000+ IT folks, and then at least 5000 consultants, and we deal with a number of vendors as well ... So, we have a standard that all the IT employees are supposed to follow.

my signature is:

full name
job title
email address

note the two hyphens? THEY'RE SIGNIFICANT. USE THEM.

i don't say "regards", "best", "thanks", or any other waste of space like that. if someone is butthurt because i didn't, then they can feel free to impale themselves on a rusty fencepost.
