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

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"!

depending on the purpose of the email,

thank you,

Sincerely,

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

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.

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.

With the coworkers in my group:

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]"
