How do you sign your work emails?

I received an email from a coworker today, someone that I have no daily interaction with, signed [italic] "sincerely,"[/italic]. That seems a bit to familiar, no? This is not a fortune 500 company. We're that too formal here. If someone emails me with an inquiry, I usually sign it with something akin to, "please let me know if you need anything else, (Name)." If I'm making an inquiry, it's[italic] "Thanks, (Name)."[/italic] If it's informal and I know the person well enough I sometimes just leave a Dash in front of my name.

• Could you be more lame, OP? - Your cube mate

• Same here, OP "Thanks" I don't put my name because my name is already there on the email.

• A lot of people I work with have signatures which say "best" or "thanks" or something. They never mean it. It's perfunctory.

• At my workplace, we have to set up a "signature". Mine says "Thank you", then my name/title/etc I use that for all work emails, whether it's to a client or a colleague.

• Mine used to say "Kind Regards", now it just says "Regards". Nothing more is needed to a complete stranger who would cut your throat if they got a chance to.

• v/r (Very respectfully)

• "Cordially, Rolf"

• I sign mine: B/m/c which stands for Bite my crank

• "Meme Sahib"

• I hate 'best'. Best what? Best cunt? Best cow sodomy? Best pancreatic cancer? It's a disgusting hipster virus that must be eradicated.

• I used to do "Regards," but now I do "Thanks" because I don't want anyone to know I'm over 40. (I work remotely).

• Cuntily yours,

• No greeting, just my name, work title, work unit and phone number. Sometimes I add "thanks" to the email.

• Couldn't agree more R10

• I adore R7. To someone within my organization, I don't sign mine at all. I don't use a greeting, either. I just state my business. To someone outside my organization, I just use my name, title and the name of my company. No Thank You, no phone number: ain't nobody got time for that.

• how about the lame; "No Problem"

• [quote] hate 'best'. Best what? Best cunt? Best cow sodomy? Best pancreatic cancer? It's a disgusting hipster virus that must be eradicated. Best wishes.

• 'Best' is a shortened form of 'With best regards.' I work for myself and I am a bit formal, so I usually sign 'With _____ regards,' the blank being filled in with whatever is appropriate, e.g., best, kind, warm, etc.

• I sign my Praise Allah

• When I was young, every business letter had to be signed with "yours", usually "Very Truly Yours", "Cordially Yours", or "Sincerely Yours". I did not like it because I thought that was too familiar, and as someone upstream said, you are often dealing with people who are trying to cut your throat. As soon as I was self employed, I started signing my letters as simply "Sincerely", or "Cordially". And now I do the same with Email. If there is any possible reason to say "thank you" to the person or entity, then I will make the last paragraph of my letter or Email a sincerely stated, for one example, "Thank you for your kind consideration in this matter."

• Damn you, OP! I'm at work. You could have at least labeled this thread NSFW (Numbnut Signatures For Work).

  Mimi

• Best or Best Always.

• Regards, (name)

• Sometimes I write Suhmuhdi Which is short hand for "suck my dick."

• I usually sign "Love." Then again, I work in billing.

• ...Ginny...that YOU @ R26?

• "Thank you for your kind consideration in this matter." This sounds ironic or sarcastic, no matter how formal your other language. I had a friend in high school who started ending his communications with "Enjoy," back in the 1980s. I always liked that one but some people go absolutely apeshit if you say that to them. So now I don't bother with endings at all.

• Love you bunches! MWAH! Cap'n Snickerdoodles

• I sign all work emails BOOM BOOM BOOM!

• I sign "Hopin you're the same."

• Please. If the email comprises formal business correspondence in e form, whether as a stand-alone or as the face of attachments, the usual constructions are appropriate. "Sincerely" is the most-used convention now (Oddly, it used to be considered more informal than "Sincerely yours" but that is long ago.), and "Yours truly" remains acceptable, no matter how odd they strike the uneducated, smug and tasteless ears of today's grunting class. In business-related external emails or internal emails to higher-ups where some leverage of personal expression is called for, "Best wishes" may be used as a replacement. The contracted "Best" and the equally false "Regards" should be avoided. "Thank you" may or may not be appropriate near the end of correspondence, but it never serves as a closing where a closing is called for. Glad to help. Sincerely yours, (since we're all friends here) The Style Expert In internal work emails that serve as routine back-and-forth communications, no sign-off or closing is needed. A name is sufficient. Please not that except in the most casual of hard-copy or attached letters or notes, even when the correspondence is informal, a closing is required if the letter format is used.

• Regards or Thanks

• [quote]I work for myself and I am a bit formal, so I usually sign 'With _____ regards,' ... So... when you email yourself, you sign "with ___ regards"?

• I'm quite fond of using a tilde (~), then a space, then "dilligaf". Which is awesome, cuz to the clueless it appears to be a sooper-cool nickname, but it's really me saying Do I Look Like I Give A Fuck! Hee hee

• Hookers say "thanks". Very common

• I sign mine "Dang Mama!"

  Kimberly%20Parker

• Never sign it Thanks unless you're making a request. There are so many people who have it automatically set to Thanks and it sounds so stupid when not making a request. "There's cake in the breakroom. Thanks." "I have to go to the bathroom. Thanks." "She's such a bitch, isn't she? Thanks." "Here's the link to the Groupon. Thanks." "I hate my manager. Thanks" "I'm sick today. Thanks"

• I just have "Thank you" on a typical email as part of my sig I'd love to put something more catchy - "My deepest regards" or "Your humble man servant" just to fuck with people.

• "Thanks" as part of her "sig": Idiot.

• "Okay, bye."

• I completely agree with R10

• you should be signing them: Love,

• Sincerely, Regards or Thanks, depending on the subject matter.

• "KTHXBAI"

• Yours in Christ, Have a blessed day, HE is risen, Ciao,

• Sucky Fucky Long Time, Quiyue "Debbie" Ching Network Associate Information Technology

• I raise up my caftan and scream, "YUM!".

• [quote]To someone within my organization, I don't sign mine at all. I don't use a greeting, either. I just state my business. Oh, your [quote]that[/quote] person.

• [quote]To someone within my organization, I don't sign mine at all. I don't use a greeting, either. I just state my business. I meant, Oh [bold]you're[/bold] [italic]that[/italic] person (Fuck it. Damn it why doesn't Datalounge have edit-post option?)

• [quote]the equally false "Regards" should be avoided. Why would you consider "Regards" false?

• My name, followed by 'crying as I type'

• Yup. Cheers! Thanks a lot!

  Patsy Stone

• Yours in Christ,

• I always sign LOVE, Now that is familiar. Love always, R55

• Ever Onward,

  Rinrey

• I write Hail Satan! Hail the Prince of Darkness! Some of the other gals don't like it.

• OP, are you complaining that it was too familiar, or too formal?

• LOL @R10. Yeah, 'Best' always sounds pretentious and fake. Every time I see it, i think of the boss from "Office Space".

• "Regards" and "best" are laughed upon by many as pretentiousness by those who are reaching.

• Lick me where I shit,

• Why on earth would you ever sign your email? Either you're in a position of power and people read your mail, or you're not, and then no one gives a shit. I work in financial services, and we all have names, titles, phones and disclaimers in our footers. There's no reason to sign anything.

• HNIC,

• I can't believe no one uses CHEERS. Actually I'm relieved. I fucking hate that one, especially coming from someone who isn't Britsh.

• Just don't be one of those cunts that ends everything with, "Please advise."

• People who write "best" should be fired on the spot. It's just stupid.

• "That is all."

  Anna

• Fuck You Very Much,

• God bless America

• Ugh, "please advise." I hate that one. It sounds so passive-aggresive to me.

• "Kisses,"

• Very Respectfully = V/R

• What really gets to me is people who start an email with "Dear..." I only call people I love Dear. It has gotten to the point where I only start an email with Dear if I am about to crucify someone for being an idiot. If anyone at work receives an email from me beginning with Dear they should be very, very afraid.

• Hookers say "thanks for coming."

• "So there's that..."

• Do my bidding. Dance my puppets, dance! He who controls the money.

• "Please avoid eye contact should we cross paths, - gkp"
