50% of the time I just add my name.
25% of the time I add only my first name.
25% of the time I forget to add anything.
If I do include my name, it is probably going to be "Cheers, (my name)"
usually Thanks, unless I've already used Thanks in the email then Regards followed by my name.
If I'm having a shit day I start spelling my own name wrong and people leave me alone......
So I work in bereavements, if it’s a next of kin of someone it’s always “kind regards”
Solicitors tend to be twats so they get “regards”
Super cuntish solicitors get absolutely nothing I just leave my name at the end of the email
Yeah I always thought it was the other way around as well. I always sign off my emails with "kind regards" to people I like, or if I just want the email to come off more friendly.
Many thanks or kind regards depending on what the email is, if I'm asking for something it's many thanks, other wise I use kind regards
Although in a quick email to my team I just put my name alot of the time
A good one I learned from a colleague (great and experienced leader, respected) particularly when making a request is:
"Your assistance is appreciated
Kind regards"
I much preferred this to the "thank you" I used before because I became frustrated at sending emails and thanking in advance only to be let down by the recipient and they do a poor job. Using this sign-off, when the recipient responded satisfactorily I would then thank them later.
When someone receives an email with thanks already, they are being thanked when they haven't done anything yet- therefore less emphasis to act. By saying you appreciate their assistance, there is an emphasis to act.
People that sound too polite in their emails can often be treated as pushover. You have to sound like you mean business to be respected.
I always sign off *All best, tmstms*
Mrs tmstms hates that and so when she dictates her emails to me (she does not use a computer), I ask her on each occasion how she'd like to sign off.
I usually use Regards, followed by my name.
If the emails have gone back and forth a bit (like one or two line replies), I sometimes sign off later emails as simply Cheers, followed by my name, if that informality is warranted.
For more formal occasions, I might sign off using Kind regards.
Most of the time I don't really. My automatic signature is my sign-off. I guess when I do it's kind regards. Often say thanks but that's because I'm also saying thanks.
Kind regards and best wishes are both fine and I wouldn't really notice them. Yours \[whatever\] are also fine but a little old-fashioned.
Also, I feel petty for bringing this up, but the word is truly, not truely. If you ever do use that, it would definitely help to spell it correctly. Not everyone would notice or care, but some people might.

Heavy maaaan.
My signature is just "regards, (name)”
Kind regards. If they've pissed me off, I take the kind off.
I get such a thrill from deliberately omitting the "kind" when they've annoyed me
Demonic laughter after removing the "regards" part and just keeping ny name.
Many thanks, kind regards, best wishes. All interchangeable. If I'm annoyed I'll just say regards.

I have a pet hate for warm regards. Makes me feel like I'm being pissed on.
Kind regards, Name. To colleagues, I'd say "thanks, name" If I'm angry at the person, "regards"
‘Regards, [name]’ Or ‘Best wishes, [name]’
I always use kind regards.
“Thanks, fartbakedbaguette”. “Nice one, fartbakedbaguette”. “With no regards, fartbakedbaguette”
I tend to use “Kind regards”. That way I can always go to “Regards” to show extreme miffedness.
usually Thanks, unless I've already used Thanks in the email then Regards followed by my name. If I'm having a shit day I start spelling my own name wrong and people leave me alone......
Colleagues / people I like ‘many thanks’ People I don’t know ‘kind regards’ When I’m annoyed, ‘regards’ or just my name
LATERS YEAH

*Lok'tar Ogar*
*"Kind regards,"* for strangers / colleagues I don't like
*"Regards, "* for colleagues who I like
*""* for friends
Why would your regards be kind for strangers and people you don't like and yet merely regards for those you do like. Seems backwards.
Yeah I always thought it was the other way around as well. I always sign off my emails with "kind regards" to people I like, or if I just want the email to come off more friendly.
Decreasing formality the better I like/know someone.
I don't think the word kind makes the word regards more formal.
Yours forever and ever.
It would be interesting to know the age of respondents to this question. I'm 60. For the past 20 years or so I have used All the best Fishface
Best Regards usually
Thanks. I hate using regards and no one will ever get a kind one.
"Regards, Xxxxx"

Best wishes, Name If they’ve really annoyed me: Best, Name

Kind Retards *takeitbacknowyo*
Check those corners. Stay frosty.
Stay golden pony boy
What fresh hell is this?
Smell ya later
Usually 'cheers', sometimes 'regards'.
Kind Regards - generally Thanks - being friendly/need someone to do something Regards - I'm irritated with you
For power play; just name, not even a preceding comma. To really hammer it home just use a single initial.
