Go with Yours truly, or Sincerely, Regards, or something similar. <br /> <br />Kind regards is generic. "Warm regards" has a bit of a personal touch that be used beween opposite sexes. <br /> <br />Signing off a letter ought not be a big deal. If your e-mail is business like, treat it as a letter. If it is casual between friends, you can do whatever you want. <br /> <br />MountainHikerhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatIsAppropriate/nhgm/post.htmFri, 07 Jan 2005 09:00:07 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:66006lea1http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatIsAppropriate/nhgm/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments5-66006.xmlI read another thread on a similar topic, but it doesn't answer my question. <br /> <br />When is "warm regards" appropriate to end a letter or email? <br />What is the difference to "kind regards"? <br />Is "warmest regards" inappropriate for business? <br /> <br />Or is it all just the same!
