Best,
[my name]

I thank your client very much for this.

I despise the “best” signature.

I have a client who has their “Best Regards” as part of their email signature (it shows in a different color).

They had the audacity to also tell me “Best” was impersonal. Some people....

The CIO at one of my previous clients would sign Kind Regards on pretty much all his emails except when I was the sender, then it would be Warm Regards. Go figure!
I never noticed until someone on my team pointed it out and we went back to all his prior emails and... it was consistently that way. Looks like some people do pay attention to these things.

likefunny

I sign almost all of my emails “Warm Regards”. Just my name or initials if it is internal and short.

I like Warm Regards, it feels more personal and approachable (which is my line of work and personality), and it not used by many people; it feels personalized to me.
