    Keep emails as short as possible

    Unfortunately this cannot be applied to all companies and countries. I work for a international company in France 🇫🇷 and the “fancy flourishes” and very formal emails are much required in a highly hierarchical organization. I can compare it cause I worked prior to that in London where emails were much less formal and more direct. In France, the more direct you are the more rude you are considered. So your rules definitely do not apply, on contrary 😢

      I'm the same. In a business setting, it's either regards, or kind regards. I use regards on its own when my emails are a bit more serious.

      Same, and as far as I see, regards is most common, and she didn't touch on it. Disappointing.

    Respect other people's time by:
    NEVER TOP POST!!
    TRIM AWAY THE REPEATED STUFF!
    INLINE POST!
    How you address someone is IRRELEVANT.

    I always end with " Kind regards". I do not find this pompous. As long as the message is short and you mean what you say, and you say what you mean, it is ok. If you know the person well, a friendly touch is ok. You do not complain about yesterday's dinner !

    This is poorly thought out. Emails have a purpose. Don’t turn them into group instant messages or an alternative to phone calls.

    Best wishes? Why use that? Just end the email w how you'd end the same message if spoken. Often that will be thanks.

    just say - use instant messaging instead of Email, since IM's interface are more streamlined and all this talk is about is leaning towards email as IM

    "Best" at the end of an email is not a complete phrase, I find it annoying. "Thanks" is much more fitting.

    But It doesnt make sense with the time of sending an email - specifically in a global world with many time zones! It is not the case of the sender to request imidiate responce for the email. The responder should set own boundries like turn off email norification, setup do not distrub, and simply dont check emails outside working hours!

    I prefer "Sincerely" in my valediction to "Best/Best Wishes." Using "Sincerely" is more formal and business-proper, whereas "Best Wishes" can came across as overly familiar or disingenuous. I'm certainly not using "Best Wishes" in an email to my CEO.
    Otherwise, great information and thank you for sharing!
