He is a lovely man and has one of those foo man choo moustache and beard combos, actually it is quite magnificent. Anyhoo, I always sign off my emails with Best Rgds but I misspelled Rgds and outlook auto corrected it to Best Beards which I didn't realise until I sent it. | |

Not least because our HR department is having a bit of a, er, let’s say rough time. Few weeks back they sent a standard email to all applicants for a job saying they’d been successful. Not just the short list, but everyone. Bet that took a bit of unpicking! | |

I don't think keyboard layout is something that overly bothers you Keno. | |

Dear ***** I'm writing to you today to inform you that you're being evicted from your home and to provide you with a zillion pound bill for some tax you probably don't owe but a decision you can't afford to fight... Love and kisses xxxx I mean, who comes up with this? I knew where I stood with faithfully. And especially sincerely. I always assumed that 'sincerely' meant the person/organisation was serious.

In the corporate world a one word sign off is considered hostile isn't it? I swear in all seriousness in my old job we had a course on how to write e-mails with good manners. It made for a fun few weeks as we all changed our signatures to 80s celebrities with one of their catch phrases, and on the subject of catchphrase, I chose Roy Walker I got pulled in the office and warned to stop replying to emails with my schedule stating, its good but its not right | |

I'm lucky not to really be in a particularly corporate field any more, I absolutely hate all that self important b0llox from middle aged men in suits. All the rules and chat that they love to spout smugly to each other. It's the Emperor's new clothes and I'm on a one man mission to rid my organisation of it completely. Kind Regards | | | |

Dear Guthers, I think you are probably correct. This is one of those topics I feel quite strongly about and think people who are too lazy to at least Google the bloody rules should be shot. That'll learn 'em. Yours sincerely J. [Post edited 30 Jun 2018 2:16]

I usually sign off with either: ‘Cheers in advance, Rommers’ Or ‘All the best, Rommers’ Very very rarely do I end an email with anything else | |

And that's fine isn't it, when you're dealing with your mates et al. Not when dealing with accountants, solicitors, councils... | |

I have to say I don’t deal with any of the important people so it’s great I don’t think I’ve ever emailed a mate. It’s 2018 innit | |
