Most Cringeworthy Email Closings/Sign-Offs

Let me hear some of the most cringeworthy (seen in use/hypothetical) email sign-offs. Some of my personal favorites:

  • Warmest Wishes,

  • With the Wind,

  • Gratefully Yours,

 

LMFAO "With the wind". I'm definitely using that at the end of my Thank You and Farewell email.

Cheers (unless you're Aussie or some other former British colony I'm forgetting that uses this colloquially. more often than not it's tech bros rather than expats, however)

Ciao (unless you're Italian, Spanish, or Portuguese)

Warmly (cringed just typing that)

Onward and Upward (why, just why)

recently I've started not using signoffs. I got the cue from my CEO who I noticed doesn't always use one in his companywide memos. I figure if it's good enough for him, good enough for me. exceptions are made when someone did something for me, I'll say thank you as my signoff.
