Signing Off - What Do You Say?

[boxtops]

The TIA post prompts this.

What do you say at the bottom of an email, for informal business or to someone you don't know well?

I usually say "many thanks" - which doesn't really mean anything, just "thanks for reading this", I guess.

I have a huge dislike of "Kind Regards" - what the devil does that mean? I know several people who use it (or KR), and it always winds me up....

Cynicism also confirms my feelings about many things.

After Saturday, and until the end of the football season, it will be COYB! from me, and that will really pi$$ off a lot of my email contacts.

COYB.......BT

I hate 'Cheers! and 'Take Care'. Business Emails I just sign my full name and business name underneath, Private Emails PLB

Kind regards from me. Or regards if its not so friendly. If its a friend I often just use my initial J. I do have a set 'signature' on my emails which is my name, my affix/breed (kennel name) and a phrase 'because life's too short to show an ugly dog'. When replying instead of Hi or Dear xx I tend to put 'Thanks xx,' and then go straight into the text.
