Seven Email Sign-offs to Avoid
Seven Email Sign-offs to Avoid
When you’re struggling with how to end an email, it’s best to consider the context. What works for a friend or close colleague won’t work in a strictly professional correspondence with a distant acquaintance or someone you’ve never met before. Here’s a rundown of some of the most common mistakes need to avoid.

Love

I have a friend who once accidentally signed an office email to his entire department with love. Save this one for family, close friends, and your significant other. The same applies to hugs or XOXO.

Thx or Rgrds

You’re not a kid, and this isn’t a chat happening in a mobile messaging app. Use full words.

Looking forward to listen from you

This one sounds nice at first, but it’s ultimately passive-aggressive. Your recipient may took implied“You’d better write back.”

Yours truly

No way, This sounds insincere and hokey . . . unless you’re writing a letter home to your parents from summer camp.

Respectfully / Respectfully yours

This one’s okay if you’re sending a formal missive to the President Of India, but it’s too formal for anything else. In fact, according to , respectfully yours is the standard close for addressing government officials.

Sent from my iPhone

It conveys that you don’t care enough to do away with the default email signature that came stock with your device’s email app.

May god be with you, have a blessed day

It’s best to keep anything with religious overtones out of your professional correspondence.
