What do you usually use at work? 95% of the time I use “Best Regards” If I am pissed, someone backstabbed me and I am sending a note back to amend things, I say “Kindest Regards” I use “Very Respectufully” or VR when needed at times as well
Regards alone.
“Kind Regards” most of the times. But if its a chick, “Fond Regards”.
Kind Regards, first timers Regards, second time Best, the rest Kisses, for the chicks
XOXOXO to everyone
I like to sign my emails “13 inches, JTLD” to chicks.
My standard work email reads: John, xxxxxxx xxxxxxx Regards, Carson Can obviously adapt for more or less formal situations, but I find that works well.
Later,
Personally, I hate “Regards,” whether they’re warm, kind, luscious, plain, or whatever. Not that I hate the people that send regards; I just hate the phrase. What is a regard, anyway? To me, it just sounds like some lukewarm phluff from someone who figures it’s sufficiently neutral to fill the space required. For formal stuff, I tend to sign “Sincerely,” for more familiar stuff, I often use “Cheers,” or “Hope all is well.” If I’m commenting on a meeting we’ve set up, I’ll typically say “Looking forward.” There. For about 10 years I’ve had this thing against “Regards,” and now I’ve said it… Regards, bchad
…actually, “Regards” works pretty well when you’re P.O.-ed about something. 
Dear Klutz, You were a complete idiot for redeeming your funds and forcing me to shut down simply because the rest of your money was with Madoff. Now I’m fantastically overleveraged in illiquid ABS turds and have a ton of back taxes and no cash to pay for them, and it’s all your effin fault. Regards, bchad
In this economy use Yours faithfully when writing to boss.
Managing Director: Kind Regards, Director: Regards, VPs: Thanks, Associates/Analysts: PEACE
thanks for everyone

I’ve never once written “regards.” If someone does or will do something for me I say “Thanks.” Otherwise, I just hit the send button. What’s more annoying to me, though, than “regards” is when someone replies all just to say “thanks” after something is done. Don’t do that!

Don’t do that! That’s nothing. Whenever one person sends in a trade confirm or any other email to our administrator for that matter, the chick who covers our account replies to everyone on the email, which is basically my entire firm, with “I’m confirming receipt of this email.” I set a rule in my outlook to filter all her emails to spam, I’d rather go through my spam folder for legitimate emails than to have her flood my inbox with confirms every day.
ek…I’ve always felt “regards” was corny.
I find some of our investment bankers like to use the phrase “Many thanks” at the end of all their emails and we make fun of them for it.
regards? most people I’ve dealt with use thanks… maybe a look forward to talking/meeting most people just say what they have to say and then put their name… occasionally really important people use thx
i find “cheers” only appropriate if someone sneezes or if we are boozing it up. “cheers” in an email has got to be a british thing of some sort, and doesn’t it have to be followed by “mate” by default? my ranking in terms of increasing level of formality: thanks < thank you < regards < sincerely
Mine is simply Thanks, Wanderingcfa Unless I need something more formal and I will go with Sincerely.
