    But "best regards" sounds even more bloated than "kind regards".

    It's not a job if you enjoy what you are doing.

    I thought your name was Maia. Nice to meet you, Med.

    Some people end their emails with "cheers". They're normally the really passive aggressive ones. I hate them.

    The most passive aggressive response is "Please advise." I generally spend the longest time responding to the people who choose to end their e-mails like that.

    What's a better way to get someone to reply to your email?

    Please advise.

    I imagine "you're welcome" would be even worse.

    For my personal e-mail address, just my first name. For my work e-mails I have a signature block with the relevant information after my name. I usually type "Thanks." above that. But never "Thanks!". Big difference, haha. And never anything like "best wishes", "kind regards", etc.

    Also, regarding having your e-mail address included in your e-mail signature, I see people do that at my company too. Doesn't make much sense.

    When I use "Cheers" I mean it. When I say "Kind regards" I am not feeling it or don't know the receiver well. :p

    Formal work emails: signature block containing my name, my title, office mailing address, direct dial number, work cell, firm's web site, and email address. This is required by the firm, so I have no real say as to what can or cannot go into my signature. For any followup emails after that, I'll just sign it with a dash and my name with no space in between.

    Personal emails, just the dash next to my name with no space in between the two.

    Usually 'regards' and the company-mandated signature. 'Thanks' seems silly if I'm providing information etc.

    'Cheers' if I know the person better.

    It appears that I am hated like Yvette.
