Lifehacker investigates: How Does Your Email Closing Line Come Off?
I am largely a “cheers’: guy, although exact mileage may vary.
Due to a combination of my former close association with Britain as well as my Navy career (many common Navy phrases are of British heritage), I also use Cheers! as my closing tag.
My emails are increasingly brief and IM-like.
I write quite a few emails daily to people I either don’t know, or am barely associated. “Sincerely” is too formal, “Cheers” to informal, and a lot of other closing lines too personal./
I always stick with a simple “Best”
I use “Thanks” and “Best,” depending on the situation and recipient.
“Best,” but I like “Cheers” when I receive a message that uses it. A little buck-up never hurts.
Why is “Sincerely” on that graph in 3 different places?
I’ve never seen someone use “Best”. What’s it supposed to mean?
Best of good things to you. Just don’t charge it to my credit card.

@Franklin: “Best” means whatever you want it to mean.
“Best regards.”
“All the best.”
“Best wishes.”
“I’m so awesome, I’m the best guy you know.”
Well, okay, maybe not that last one. But if that’s what you want it to mean, I suppose that can work as well as the others.

@Boyd: “Best” means whatever you want it to mean.
Fair enough. Sounds enigmatic then.
Cordially.
I like that one, Dodd.
Take care,
I have a stock signature, which just states my name, title (Editor in Chief, Gaming Bus), and contact information. Salutations are for old people.
