But what about the other options?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we\u2019ll go over some common sign-offs to help you write in English like a business professional!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Regards\"><\/span>1. Regards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRegards\u201d is a noun that basically means, \u201cBest wishes.\u201d It\u2019s a standard sign-off in emails today. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/susanadams\/2013\/09\/27\/57-ways-to-sign-off-on-an-email\/?sh=44b7ea5525d0\"><em>Forbes<\/em><\/a> calls it \u201cfine,\u201d and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/180872\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Entrepreneur<\/em><\/a> says it\u2019s \u201ca little short and a little distant,\u201d but \u201cgenerally works well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to sound so distant or cold, you can use \u201cRegards\u201d with some adjectives. Here are the most common ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u201cKind regards\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cWarm regards\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cBest regards\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Best\"><\/span>2. Best<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we\u2019ve mentioned \u201cBest regards,\u201d we should bring up \u201cBest.\u201d While it\u2019s not on the <em>Huffington Post <\/em>list, it\u2019s one of the most common sign-offs according to both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/how-to-sign-off-on-an-email-2015-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Business Insider<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>and <em>Forbes<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBest\u201d is like a less formal version of \u201cBest regards.\u201d To be safe, you can use \u201cBest\u201d with people you know and \u201cBest regards\u201d with people you want to be polite with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Thanks\"><\/span>3. Thanks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThanks\u201d has become standard and you\u2019ll see people using it even when the recipient has not done anything yet. However, experts disagree on whether it\u2019s actually appropriate as a sign-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing we know for sure is that expressions like \"Thanks\" or \"Cheers\" (British English) sound casual, so it's best to use them with people you already know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re worried about sounding too casual, you can put any words of appreciation (like \u201cThanks\u201d or \u201cThanks in advance\u201d) in the body of the email. Then sign off with another greeting like \u201cBest\u201d or \u201cRegards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Sincerely\"><\/span>4. Sincerely<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>This one is also one of the most commonly used in emails according to the <em>Huffington Post<\/em> poll. However, experts also disagree on how appropriate it is for emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><em>Forbes<\/em> says \u201cMaybe OK for some formal business correspondence.\u201d<\/li><li><em>The Entrepreneur <\/em>says \u201cyou'll never offend anyone\u201d with this option, but it\u2019s \u201ca bit too formal for e-mail.\u201d<\/li><li>An expert interviewed in <em>Business Insider <\/em>recommends it for cover letters, but not for emails.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So \u201cSincerely\u201d is safe to use (especially if you start your email with \u201cDear\u201d as one expert points out), but it can seem a bit stiff, depending on who you\u2019re writing to. There\u2019s also no need to get even more formal with \u201cSincerely yours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we\u2019re on this topic, we should point out that \u201cFaithfully yours\u201d or \u201cYours faithfully\u201d is very rarely used these days. A British member of our team said, \u201cEvery now and then, I'll come across \u2018yours faithfully\u2019 in a very formal message, but it's certainly not as common anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Name_Initials_or_Nothing_At_All\"><\/span>5. Name, Initials, or Nothing At All<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The experts interviewed in <em>Business Insider <\/em>and <em>Forbes<\/em> don\u2019t recommend signing off with just your name, initials, or nothing at all, because this can seem cold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <em>Bloomberg Businessweek<\/em> disagrees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cWith the rise of Slack and other office chatting software, e-mail has begun functioning more like instant messaging anyway \u2026. Signoffs interrupt the flow of a conversation ... and that\u2019s what e-mail is.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Our take? It depends on the email. Obviously, we don\u2019t recommend doing this in a formal email to someone you\u2019ve never met. However, if you\u2019re having a conversation with someone over email, just ending with your name, initials, or nothing at all is fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Start_Writing\"><\/span>Start Writing!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope the advice above helps you understand what different sign-offs mean and how you should use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need more help deciding, remember this piece of writing advice: \u201ckeep the reader in mind.\u201d In other words, think about who will receive your email. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In certain countries and industries, communication is more formal, so you\u2019ll want to sign off with \u201cSincerely,\u201d \u201cBest regards,\u201d or even more formal options like \u201cRespectfully.\u201d<\/li><li>If you\u2019re close with a recipient, you can use less formal sign-offs like \u201cBest,\u201d \u201cThanks,\u201d or even more casual options like \u201cEnthusiastically\u201d or \u201cGreat working with you.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we know that as a learner, writing business emails can be scary. After all, how can a learner judge if something is \u201cformal enough\u201d?&nbsp;<br>So, if you ever need a second opinion, reach out to <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/tutors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our tutors<\/a>.
