Email Sign-Offs 电子邮件结尾



Listen to this programme first and then read the content below. 请先听节目然后再阅读以下内容。

This week’s question comes from Milton Feng in Dalian who wants to know about email sign-offs.

There are many ways of signing off an email, and choosing the right way is not always easy. Although email is a new form of communication, it is still important to pay attention to etiquette (or as some say; 'netiquette' – internet etiquette).

 

Email Sign-Offs 电子邮件结尾 

What is the best way to sign off an email?

One good tip is to stay relatively formal when you first contact someone you don't know well. As you communicate more, you can then mirror that person's level of formality.

Here are some common formal email sign-offs:

Best regards 谨此致意

Kind regards 致意

Yours sincerely 您真诚的;... 谨启(信末签名前的套语)

Yours faithfully 您忠实的(信未署名前客套用语)

Regards 致意

Many thanks 多谢

Milton specifically asked about the difference between best regards and kind regards. These are very similar, though some people would say best regards is slightly more businesslike than kind regards.

And now for some common less formal email sign-offs:

Thanks 谢啦

Bye 拜拜

Speak soon 再聊

x 代表一个吻
