Everyone seems to be using 'kind regards' these days.
I can't bring myself to do it. It sounds so false to me. Never in my life have I said that out loud in a coversation. It's not a natural thing to say.
I just put "thank you' then my name and job role.

No sign off.
I just signed them "Thanks," and then my name. Although sometimes I felt stupid thanking them for their email because usually it was something that added more work to my plate. 😂🤣😂

Usually ‘STOP E-Mailing me and burn in hell you annoying monster!’ But then I erase that and type ‘Thank you.’ Unfortunately I need my job.
shareIf it's Monday or Tuesday, I usually will say, "Thank you..have a great day/week!" I'm generally a pretty nice guy and this is kind of an extension of my personality.
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday...it switches to, "Thank you...have a great day/weekend." Like Loverboy sang in the early 80s, we're all "Working For The Weekend," so I know mentioning the weekend will usually lift a person's spirits. Again, this is "natural" to me and not something that would come across as "phony."
