In Yours sincerely^x, Regards^x

What about when you end a conversation with something like, "It's been good to see you again, Jack. Please give my best to Doris and the kids. I'm sorry they couldn't come on this trip with you," or "So, you're going to the San Diego office? If you see Sandra Evans...

A friend of mine sent me an email last night and ended by "My Best", her Name. I personally feel that she likes me.I have never seen anyone end a letter or e-mail with "My Best" and have heard Academics end with "Best".You are right MrP, it's very disconcerting...
