    I end the email with regards and I have it on my signature block. Best wishes are reserved for friends and family

      I'm the same. In a business setting, it's either regards, or kind regards. I use regards on its own when my emails are a bit more serious.

      Same, and as far as I see, regards is most common, and she didn't touch on it. Disappointing.

    Unfortunately this cannot be applied to all companies and countries. I work for a international company in France 🇫🇷 and the “fancy flourishes” and very formal emails are much required in a highly hierarchical organization. I can compare it cause I worked prior to that in London where emails were much less formal and more direct. In France, the more direct you are the more rude you are considered. So your rules definitely do not apply, on contrary 😢

    I always end with " Kind regards". I do not find this pompous. As long as the message is short and you mean what you say, and you say what you mean, it is ok. If you know the person well, a friendly touch is ok. You do not complain about yesterday's dinner !

    This is poorly thought out. Emails have a purpose. Don’t turn them into group instant messages or an alternative to phone calls.

    Best wishes? Why use that? Just end the email w how you'd end the same message if spoken. Often that will be thanks.

  • @ChristinaCatFoster
    @ChristinaCatFoster 2 года назад +2

    I prefer "Sincerely" in my valediction to "Best/Best Wishes." Using "Sincerely" is more formal and business-proper, whereas "Best Wishes" can came across as overly familiar or disingenuous. I'm certainly not using "Best Wishes" in an email to my CEO.
    Otherwise, great information and thank you for sharing!

    But It doesnt make sense with the time of sending an email - specifically in a global world with many time zones! It is not the case of the sender to request imidiate responce for the email. The responder should set own boundries like turn off email norification, setup do not distrub, and simply dont check emails outside working hours!
