question for people who work in offices
 

How do you sign your emails?

me:

Kind Regards

My first name. It depends on what others are doing, and if it seems automatic nobody will bother looking at it.

Thanks,
FirstName

I don't believe e-mails on the whole require formal typing (some do, but if your doing something that formal, by and large your sending a letter by post in my experience), so normally i just use:

Regards

or

Cheers

FirstName--

Body of email. With no particular sign-off line.

--
My Name

My URL

^^^^^^^
just like that.

Or, if it's somebody I've worked with a long time and it's a quick back-and-forth kind of message:


FirstInitial--

Message message message.

--MyFirstInitial

usualy i use:

~d

tilda first letter of my name.

i also use:

~bribes in the usualy place.

Depends on who I am sending to and what the content is...

Warm regards,

Cheers

For all University business:

Title Lastname:

Body of email.

Sincerely,

Title Full Name
Job Title/Department
Phone number/University extension

It depends greatly who I'm sending it to.
Underlings: thanks, man/dude/yo/etc., (it's my rapport with them that makes me loved)
peers: thanks, or thanks very much,
CEO: I can't believe you got arrested again, or I'll call your attorney,
Other companies: Sincerly, or I appreciate your time,

depends who its to and it depends on my mood. if im pissed with someone, and its a dirty letter telling them im gonna do so and so unless they get their act together, then its usually just my name. otherswise its just these.

cheers, thanks, regards, kind regards, always.

It depends on if it is a first email on the topic or a reply. It it is the first the format is:

recipient's name

body

bs about call me if you have any questions

sincerely,

name
title
company
address
phone
fax

if it is a reply i just put my first name at the end

I set mine on auto signature.

Our server tacks all outgoing mail with a standard disclaimer and an HTML version of my business card.

My signature (both at work and for personal mail) has been very simple for 5 years: my initials. Sometimes I say things like "Thanks" or "Regards" out of respect, or just "Later" to be friendly. I see no need to put your title, company name, phone number, or any of that other stuff. That's what your biz card is for, or if somebody wants to know they can ask. Most of the time, they don't need to know, don't care to know, or already know. So it is just a waste. The only reason to have a signature at all is to mark the end of your message. I guess you could use an inspiring quote though. Like I do on TFP. ;)

Well I reply to emails in several languages so that's a tough question!

In Portuguese:

Atentamente (attentively I guess it translates)

or

Com os meus melhores cumprimentos (with my best regards)

or

grata pela sua atenção, subscrevo-me com os meus melhores cumprimentos
(grateful in advance for your attention I undersign with my best regards)

In Spanish:

Atentos Saludos (attentive salutations lol!)

or

un cordial saludo (cordial salutations)

In French:

Merci à l'avance (thank you in advance)

or

Avec mes meilleurs complients (with my best regards)

or

Amicalement (with friendship)

In English:

Best Regards

or

Kind Regards

or

Best Wishes

or

Thank you




And then my name!

My favourite reply in this post, because it made me laugh, is analog's "not wearing any pants"! :thumbsup:

Name
Title
Facility Location
Phone Number

depending on the purpose of the email,

thank you,

Sincerely,

or just my name.

If i'm emailing my hubby I'll usually just type xoxoxoxo and not even put my name on it.

Full name
Title
Branch
Location
Phone
Fax

Unless it is EXTREMELY formal, like an official quote for the year's contract, or to someone that is 2-3 levels above anyone I normally deal with, I usually say:



Thanks,
(Initials)

or something similiarly simple. :)

Sincerely

Name
Position in company
Company Name
(address if formal)
email address at company

nothing since there is not any salutation or greeting there is no closing.

Thanks,
First Last

or

Hope to hear from you,
First Last

Generally I just say

"Thanks," sometimes "regards"

with my "signature" which includes full name with my professional letters, tel, fax, cel & email address.

The email address is a bit redundant since it is an email but often emails get printed and stuck in a file. I've found it handy to look at the bottom of a piece of paper and see the dude's email address in the past so now I do it too.

Name:

Message Message

Thanks,
Firstname LastName
Position
Phone

First Name Last Name
Designer
E-mail (work)

Company Name
Company Address

With the coworkers in my group:

FirstName

With coworkers I don't know as much, I use my first and last name.

And for external contacts, a signature with my name, occupation, company name, and phone number.

It depends on how well I know the person or people that I'm e-mailing.

If I know them well, it's:

"Thanks.

[my first name]"

If I don't know them well, it's:

"Thanks.

[my first and last name]
[my job title]
[the name of my company]
[my business phone number]"

My Treo is on auto with Thanks...my initials

I use that from my PC most of the time or with cheers replacing thanks.
