Thanks. All the best. Regards. Yours. Cheers. Family Ties.
No one can agree on the right way to end an email or letter. What’s harmless to one person is an affront to another. I like using “cheers” but apparently that makes me sound like an affected, wannabe Brit to some people. “Sincerely”, to my ear, is the least sincere way to sign off. To this guy, using “best” is “slightly creepy” and using “fondly” is “almost the same as writing ‘I hate you.'”
Good grief. Why not stop using them altogether?
