The late Alistair Cooke once answered some hotel worker who dared to wish him a nice day, "Young man, I'll have any kind of day I like!"

I like to sign off "Hang loose". I find it really sincere.

Lots of options out there! Appropriate and inappropriate




Thanks for posting, TranslateThis!


There is also a reason why I often use rather lavish greetings at the end of an email. Wishing someone a wonderful afternoon / a great weekend with lots of sunshine is a clear indication that the conversation is now OVER and that there are no further emails necessary, desired or expected. Otherwise "Sincerely" or any other "open-end" greeting might trigger just ANOTHER email with wishes for nice weekends and such, to which of course you have to respond if you were not raised in a barn, and within less than an hour your inbox looks like a chat room.
