You’re Ending Your E-mails Wrong

I guess people just don't use the tried and true "now quit bothering me" anymore.

So how do you choose? "Yours" sounds too Hallmark. "Warmest regards" is too effusive. "Thanks" is fine, but it’s often used when there’s no gratitude necessary. "Sincerely" is just fake—how sincere do you really feel about sending along those attached files? "Cheers" is elitist. Unless you’re from the U.K., the chipper closing suggests you would’ve sided with the Loyalists.
