In secondary school, we were taught that if we know the person, we use "Yours sincerely", and if we don't, we should use "Yours faithfully" at the end of a business letter. Remember those rules?
In any given work day, I find 30% of my hours consists of writing and responding to emails and so I slip into a routine of using the same finishing line in all my business related email correspondences. Not that it matters that much what I put, I just don't think people care nowadays or would consciously read it.
Recently though, I have been paying attention on how others choose to end their emails.
They range from:
"thanks",
"best regards", "Best Regards","BR",
"Regards", "rgds",
"cheers",
to complex concoctions like:
"Thanks and best wishes"
and...the most erupted way to end goes to "Best" - I guess that would be the internet-inspired, short for "Best Regards"?!
How do you end yours? Enlighten me if you have any wicked ones you've come across.
