Email sign-offs: What your email sign-off is really saying when you write ‘thanks’

Here’s what your email sign-off is really saying when you write ‘thanks’.

Communication experts Suzanne Bates, President and CEO of Bates Communications, Inc. and author of Speak Like a CEO: Secrets For Commanding Attention and Getting Results, and Cherie Kerr, founder of ExecuProv and author of The Bliss or "Diss" Connection? Email Etiquette For The Business Professional, give their expert insights into this aspect of email correspondence.

Sign-off – “thanks”

Bates: It's OK if you're actually thanking people. But keep in mind it's casual; you should know them if you're using this sign-off. Kerr: This is one of the safest and most courteous of the salutations. It keeps it pleasant, but professional.
