I'm ready for a new tag line for my business-related emails. (The "valediction", as it's apparently called.) I've seen "Kind Regards", "Cheers", "Yours sincerely", "All the best", etc. etc, but those are starting to sound stale to me and I'm looking for something fresh.
So how do you sign-off your formal and semi-formal correspondence? (What final phrase do you use, immediately prior to typing your name?)
Respectfully and cordially awaiting your kind reply, I remain sincerely yours,
(and Metaphors Be With You),
KMote

This works better :
- see ya, don't wanna be ya!
|
|
|
|
|
Could always go for the plain old: "Please do not reply to this email; this address is not monitored."

Thanks. I opted to use that at the end of a business chat today. ![Badger | [badger,badger,badger,badger...]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/badger.gif)

Oh, I didn't know you worked in my department!

Mostly I just go with a generic "Best regards"

We have a mature game off 'Change peoples signatures when they leave there workstation unlocked' at the moment.
Yesterday every e-mail I sent was signed 'Chief Sandwich Maker'.

Is that what 'Fukkphag' means

I'd say it implies something else than hate.

I changed the ring tone of a colleague's phone to Blink 182's Family Reunion then gave him a call when he was in a meeting with lots of people more senior than him.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I had my ringtone for an acquaintance set as Khia's "My Neck, My Back".
Briefly, anyway.
A phone's ringtone is remarkably loud in a quiet cubicle farm.
Well, I didn't expect her to call in the middle of the day. Sheesh.

For business communication, just K.I.S.S. and polite.
I just finish all my external business emails with :
Thank you,
Maximilien Lincourt.
For internal business emails:
Thanks,
Max.
I'd rather be phishing!

|
Replying to a non-coder:
Thanks and Regards
Replying to a coder:
Byte and Regards

Depending upon the exact nature of the email, I use one of two. For most emails I send from work, I use the one "recommended"  by my employer:
Quote:
This email and any files transmitted with it are the property of <name of my employer, a health care facility>, are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom this email is addressed. If you are not one of the named recipients and have received the message in error, please notify the sender at (XXX) XXX-XXXX and delete this message from your computer. Any other use, retention, dissemination, forwarding, printing or copying of this email is strictly prohibited and could be a violation of State and/or Federal law.
For emails I send to my peers, I use the "Programmer's Serenity Prayer" by Rex Hammock, which appears at the bottom of this reply.

I see no reason to have one. I just simply finish with my signature.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

When making a request, I sign off with:
Thanks,
--Ravi
Otherwise, it's just:
--Ravi

Met vriendelijke groet / kind regards,
Sander Rossel
The "Met vriendelijke groet" is "kind regards" in Dutch, but as I regularly have contact with English customers I've added the English translation
We once had a customer who had pretty much the same tag line, but in multiple languages, including Arab. It crashed our email server as we had some custom application running that processed all emails and apparently didn't handle Arab very well

To annoy the Dutch guys at a petrochemical company (that shell remain nameless), I used to Open my e-mails with "Groetjes,"
Then, when they complained (and they always did), I would reply with a (usually Huge!) list of errors they'd made in English.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Still, most Dutch speak better English than the average Englishman/American speaks Dutch (although most don't know the difference between British and American English) 
Some Dutch even spell better English than some English people (and I don't think that's ever true the other way around)!
