When I did IT then I listed my position, the phone number, and that IT branch I was a part of. (It was mandatory)


Better question is how you greet people. I used to use Howdy X, or Howdy,

I use hello now. Not as cheery anymore.

 

[NutBucket]

Usually its either Thanks, Thank you, Regards or (if internal) v/r.

Followed by:

Yes, I carry a pager.

I prefer not to sound like an ignorant moron, so I use "hello".

 

[TridenT]

I prefer not to sound like an ignorant moron, so I use "hello".

It's proven to get more responses than hello. So, suck it.

Why use a greeting at all? Be a boss.

First Name,

Get shit done.

Cheers,

I don't want responses. Why would I want responses?

Yeah that's what I do. Then again, I'm an engineer, so my emails are purely substance with no fluff. Mine look like this:

Tom -

blah blah blah

-Nate

p.s. Do the needful.

If I was speaking to engineers all day then I would do that. However, I speak to doctors a lot and they like greetings.

 

[NutBucket]

I do that internally for people I know. Otherwise I'm polite

It depends on the context. I have used "Thank you", but most of the time, I sign off with, "Should you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact me." I sometimes replace "me" with "our office".

Below that is the typical over-inclusive lawyer's auto-signature with disclaimer and warning.

Really though, I just follow the company provided standard.

Why engineers? I speak to C-staff, mid-level executives, business owners, doctors, lawyers, etc. all day and they all like a wide-range of things. There are many more important things to focus on than e-mail greetings, and anyone worth their salt knows that and would never say anything.

He doesn't have a job, so he is either spamming ot just annoying them.
