Re: Best regards, Kind regards, or Yours sincerely, - which is correct

Anonymous — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 06:26:09 GMT

Well, 'warm regards' or 'warmest regards' has the kind of ambiguous connotations I think you're looking for. I think that the body of the letters is probably where to get more into your conversation, though (and, really, my experience with academia has been that it's always personal, even when you really don't want it to be).

Anyway, what I got on here to say (not to you, anonymous). I have never seen an email from a native English speaker use "Best regards" - to be honest, it sounds kind of stilted to my American ears. If you're feeling formal, then a simple "Regards," works. If you're a little looser that day, then try "Best wishes,". Also, the capitalization pattern matters. "Best Wishes," implies a much cheerier fare-thee-well than "Best wishes,"
but "With Kind Regards," is a play title, not an email closing. There's no hard and fast rule, but if you emulate the closings that you see in other British/American emails, you'll do fine. Just never respond to an email with the exact same closing that the recipient used.

Kind regards and best regards can be used interchangeably. To me, 'warm regards' sounds a little strange. Do not use both 'kind regards' and 'yours sincerely' in the same letter - use one or the other.

depending if you know the person. first they would sign sincerely but then corresponding a couple more times turns into warm regards. In your case yours sincerely than best regards.

I have noticed that with my E-mails corresponding with professionals or business people.

I am glad nobody says fondly any more.

Well, I'm not sure "the one which is not used by many" will always be the most appropriate, Anon.

Why not use "Kind regards"? No one can complain, if you regard them kindly.

To me, the formality in letter writing has lost itâs place and no one in the new generation seems to really know what is proper and what isnât anymore. Everyone is using Outlook for business and copies the greetings and pastes them onto the next e-mail, at least it seems that way!

I have never come across âYours faithfullyâ in my 15 years in the business. Occasionally, Iâd see ârespectfullyâ and more commonly âSincerelyâ but the most abused is âwarm regardsâ or âbest regardsâ. We hardly know each other. How warm can it be?

Re: When to use 'Yours Faithfully, Sincerely or Thanks'

As was pointed out " yours faithfully " is out of style but it still is in use especially in British English. However, as was also pointed out, there are alternatives that are used in both British and American (North American) English.

1. More formal --- Sincerely yours, Yours sincerely, or even just Sincerely

2. less formal--- Sincerely, Kind/Best/Warm regards, Regards, *Best wishes

3. informal --- Best (wishes), Regards, * Just write your name *, See you, Thanks, etc., etc.

Just my take on it.

Let's look at the structure of an e-mail or a letter for that matter. Simply said you have 3 parts.

1. opening or greeting

2. body

3. closing or ending

NOTE: greeting means hello and not good-bye.

As was pointed out " yours faithfully " is out of style but it still can be found in use especially in British English. However, as was also pointed out, there are alternatives that are used in both British and American (North American) English.

1. More formal --- Sincerely yours, Yours sincerely, or even just Sincerely

2. less formal--- Sincerely, Kind/Best/Warm regards, Regards, *Best wishes

3. informal --- Best (wishes), Regards, * Just write your name *, See you, Thanks, etc., etc.

Not that this is a rule but in American English a comma is generally used after the greeting and after the closing.
