&lt;p&gt;An exclamation mark after &amp;quot;Thank you&amp;quot; is OK if you want a bright and breezy style. It would not be appropriate in a very formal letter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The Management&amp;quot; is also OK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If that&amp;#39;s the end of the sign-off then there should not be a comma after &amp;quot;The Management&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: "the"</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/The/gggww/post.htm#532482</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2008 17:44:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:532482</guid><dc:creator>Clive</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/The/gggww/post.htm#532482</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-532482.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Hi,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR:#0000ff;"&gt;i going through some letter writing in English, and it says at the end&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;The Management,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so my question is it it correct to use exclamation mark after&amp;nbsp; Thank you &lt;span style="COLOR:#111111;"&gt;It&amp;#39;s optional. Use it if you want to be emphatic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and then only Management is right or The Management &lt;span style="COLOR:#111111;"&gt;Either is OK, but &amp;#39;the&amp;#39; is probably more common.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clive&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>"the"</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/The/gggwd/post.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2008 17:39:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:532477</guid><dc:creator>Sand-dumes</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/The/gggwd/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-532477.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>i going through some letter writing in English, and it says at the end&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;The Management,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so my question is it it correct to use exclamation mark after&amp;nbsp; Thank you and then only Management is right or The Management&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i am&amp;nbsp; bamboozled .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thanks&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
