Please let me know if in the end of one's mail one can use these expressions

1. Thanks and Regards,

      ABC.

2. Thanks and Best Regards,

     ABC

 

I think:

Writing "Best Regards" is alike greeting. It is not amalgamated with "Thanks". Everyday I rcv. a few e-mails from client side; g'nally frm US or S'pore. What I've observed is that either they write "Best Regards" or they write "Thanks". Have rarely seen where both of them are mentioned. Therefore, I'm telling u this frm logical as well empirical view.

Please enlighten me.

 

Regards,

Saurabh

Hi, Saurabh--

These closings are informal, so there is considerable latitude as to what is acceptable.  As you say, 'thanks' or 'best regards' or just 'regards' alone is quite sufficient, but there is no rule against using a combination if the writer chooses to do so.

In some situations I like to just use "Best" instead of "Best regards".
