Four popular email ending/closing

People use any of the following email ending or closing phrases because they are popular. The four of them are:

“Best”

Yes, people use ‘best’ as an email closing. Though it is more professional when written as ‘best wishes,’ ‘best regards‘, etc.

It is regarded as a safe bet because it is neutral and semi-formal in the case where the person you are writing to is not familiar to you.

“Sincerely”

‘Sincerely’ is fairly popular and has certain variables such as ‘Yours truly‘ and ‘Sincerely yours.’ It is accepted because of how polite and formal it sounds. However, usage is ancient.

Please avoid this closing if you send an email to a colleague, a familiar client, or a great friend.

“Thanks/Thank you.”

‘Thank you’ or ‘Thanks’ is the most professional email ending today. Expressing gratitude remains one of the best ways to gain the favour of someone, which is the aim of most emails.

A ‘thank you’ allows your recipients to become more valued and cherished, allowing them to respond positively. ‘Thank you’ gives more room for people to reply or get back to you.

“Regards”

‘Regards’ or ‘best regards’ is another very popular email closing that most persons have used in their business email. It is neutral, straight-to-the-point, and has a tint of well-wishing.

To prevent blandness or cold, you can use a modified variation of the email closing, including ‘warm regards,’ ‘Kind regards‘, or even ‘warmest regards.’
