Hi,

I have a doubt about using commas when finishing an email.  When a person ends an email using comma and doesn´t sign the name . Can it be like a non stop conversation ? 

thanks

No. Put a period. Otherwise, it will look like you omitted part of your email or forgot to finish your sentence.

This is not a doubt. It's a question. Smile [:)]

Best wishes, Clive

thank you !  The reason I asked the question is that I received an email with a comma and the person didn´t sign the name. I took that as a non stop conversation.

Hi,

Not unless they send you another email. Wink [;)]

so, why finish an email with a comma and not signing the name ?

Some people are careless with punctuation. Or perhaps they hit the wrong key. Or perhaps they were going to write something else, but forgot.

Many people do not put their names at the end of an email.
