'Love and power' 15:05 - Aug 8 with 2442 views | itfcjoe | Is a strange e-mail sign off to get, on an email chain of about 18 emails when they still haven't solved the most simple of problems for me. Anyone else getting these weird sign offs - what is wrong with a Kind Regards or Best Wishes? | |

I think 'Regards' is a minimum really if going with a one worder. | |

Our CEO does that. Although he hasn't got time to use his full name either and just uses an initial. | |

Isn't signing off with just 'Regards' basically the equivalent of calling them a c**t? | |

Not from my point of view. Regards means good wishes, so adding kind before it seems to me a bit over the top, and a bit over-familiar, but maybe that's the lawyer in me. [Post edited 8 Aug 2023 16:26]

I'd put it above 'Best', but it's basically the minimum you can get away with. After failing to deal with my simple query which has been ongoing for months now, I'd have preferred 'Regards' to 'Love and Power' when they are trying to get me to do a number of unnecessary tasks because of their balls up when it is obvious to anyone else who took a cursory look at case notes what has happened | |

No, that's "with respect". "Regards" is calling them a tw@t. | | | |

According to Grammarly, Regards is one of the nine sign-offs that never fails. It says it is a bit stodgy, but it works in professional emails precisely because there’s nothing unexpected or remarkable about it. So I will stick with it especially when dealing with customer services, businesses and the like. [Post edited 8 Aug 2023 16:37]

Is there any guidance on the use of 'Thanks' or 'Many thanks'? When do. you step up from standard number of thanks to many? | |

Inspirational Böllocks is RIFE amongst NHS managers past a certain level. I once put together a teaching session(about post-ITU care, with special emphasis on delirium and ITU-induced PTSD, if you'r interested) for one of my team's study days. A passing senior type asked me if I could open it with 'some kind of stirring tune. Maybe 'Something Inside So Strong'? My OFFICIAL excuse for not including was that it would make the session over run(and the only other part of the session I could drop was this video here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-devon-56404049). The REAL reason was that I've hated that song ever since it played a very small but significant role in us getting relegated in 2002. [Post edited 8 Aug 2023 16:59]

When you are genuinely thanking them, rather than passive aggressively letting them know you think they're a cretin. | |
