A Random Friday Poll: Your Favorite Email Sign-Off?

email e-mail small message microsoft outlook Above the Law.JPGToday is Friday, and you know what that means at ATL: randomness and triviality! Not that this site doesn't already wallow in randomness and triviality, of course. But on Fridays, we go the extra mile.

In a prior random Friday poll, we asked for your views on "pleaded" versus "pled" (and "pled" won; results here). Today we also have a question about writing and style. From a tipster:

Suggestion for slow news period. I have always been amazed (and annoyed) at the salutations and endings used in business emails from attorneys. The ubiquitous "Best regards" seems to be the party favorite. But I've seen many other options.

The tipster then provided a laundry list of email endings, which we've turned into a poll. Check it out, after the jump.

We realize, of course, that how you conclude correspondence will vary greatly from case to case, depending upon the subject of the correspondence, the people you're corresponding with (colleagues vs. clients), etc. Just give us your answer for the "average" or "typical" case. For purposes of this poll, we're talking about work-related, professional correspondence -- e.g., an email exchange between you and your colleagues, or you and a client -- as opposed to purely personal correspondence.

Update: A few minutes after the poll first went up, we received a number of good suggestions in the comments. So we tweaked the poll -- which cleared the prior results. If you voted previously, please feel free to vote again. Thanks.

Further Update: Please note that the poll is externally hosted, by Pollhost. If you have mechanical or technological issues with the poll, please contact Pollhost directly.

(We usually use Vizu for our polls. But Vizu allows you to have no more than 10 answers to a poll question, and we went well over 10 for this one.)

I always thought of the signature line as purely informational. I don't use "thanks" unless I've requested something. If I'm writing "Here's the XXX that you asked me last night to do for this morning", I'm definitely not writing "thanks."

Why say thanks on every email? Never quite understood that. I love when people say "thanks" responding to a client who is asking when it can expect to receive something.

"We'll have it to you first thing in the morning. Thanks."

Thanks for what?

Dearest HLS '09,
In my experience, when a legal professional is engaged in bet the company litigation the best signature is "A'ight," followed by your name. In complex cross-border transaction work, however, the big shot attorneys tend to sign off with "XOXOX". In the end, it's really your decision. Make sure to go with whichever one suits your personality the best.

XOXOXO,
Franz

"Thanks" is so stupid. I can't believe it's the most popular.
Partner: "Why did you neglect to cover Issue A in the memo I asked you to draft? Thanks."

OR

Opposing counsel: "I've had it with your tactics. I am moving to compel. Thanks!"

11:16 is right: "Thanks", "Thank you" and the like must be the most overused (and misused) salutation around. Save it for when you have made a request of someone or when someone has provided you with something you needed. If you are doing a document distribution and not really asking for anything, why say "Thanks"? What are you thanking the recipients for? In fact, the recipients should be thanking YOU for deigning to include them on the distribution of your masterpieces.

"Cheers" is hugely irritating unless the writer is actually British.

If someone is making a request of you, I think a short "Sucks to be you" is sufficient.

For others, I like "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your doorstep." This is a bit long so make it part of your preformatted signature.

I like "I fucked your wife" from 12:33, but it works only if the sender is a woman.

"Best" is the worst. It's not far behind "cheers" in terms of making one sound like a douche, and it just makes no sense.

Best what? wishes? If so, all it says is that you're too "cool" (i.e., uncomfortable) to say something that actually conveys a sentiment.
