Closing for emails?

[razz]

When one is sending emails that take the place of letters, it seems to me to require a gentle closing. For family, I can use 'hugs' or 'love you' or similar but what does one use for friends and acquaintances?

One friend uses 'cheers' or 'have a great day'. I have been using 'as ever' but need some more ideas for an email closing. What do you use?

In work emails I would use often used "Thanks" (if requesting anything), "Best" or "Regards."

I use regards for acquaintances and for work emails or thanks if I'm asking them for a favor.

[Spartana]

I just say "take care" and my name for general endings.

[Tradd]

For personal emails, I often use nothing, just my name. Might use "take care" or "love" or something similar, depending on the situation - maybe the person I'm replying to has been going through some tough times.

At work, it's generally "thanks" or "regards."

May I admit I loathe "thanks in advance"?

For friends -- someone that emails me ends it with saying -- All good wishes -- I really like that closing.

For acquaintances you can maybe say -- Regards-- it might be a little too formal though...

I am with you. Feels manipulative to me.

[Square Peg]

I usually just sign my name. Sometimes I use Thanks or Thank You. Occasionally I use Best but it feels odd to me

It depends on the relationship--with some, no closing; with others Your Friend.

For friends or family I use "Ciao," "All the Best," or "See you soon." Sometimes I use "Take care," too.

[puglogic]

I had to go look at my emails to see what I say LOL

I seem to say "all the best" to folks I have a friendly relationship with, "take care" to people who have expressed any sort of personal warmth to me, and "take good care" to those I feel a kinship with myself. fwiw.

Me too, it ends emails on a friendly note.

[Wildflower]

I use Take Care for those I feel more fondly about, and Sincerely for the more business like emails. Although I suppose Sincerely might be regarded as old fashioned these days.

For close family members I usually sign with love, love you, or lots of love. :)

[Gardenarian]

For acquaintances, I use usually use Peace, Best, or Thanks.

[Miss Cellane]

For a personal email, I use the closing I'd use if I were sending a letter.

Cordially,
Sincerely,
Love,
All the best,
XOXOXOXO (that's to my 10 year old niece)

Have a good day!

[Mrs-M]

A well-used email close of my husbands is, "talk to you". Sounds hip, doesn't it.

Mine are, "talk soon" or "talk again soon".

How about something in the way of, "good health and happiness"?

I usually end with 'Thanks' if I'm requesting something, otherwise it's nothing at all other than my name.

I get lots of 'Regards', 'Best Regards' and 'Cheers' from others. They seem to be the most popular.
