Closing an email professionally is crucial in business culture

How to close an email correctly and why it is important.

Just as you want to start things off on the right foot with your greeting, you also want to part well. That means writing a friendly sign-off. And there are plenty of options to choose from. You’ll want to choose a closing that feels genuine to your personality and tailor it to the relationship to ensure an appropriate level of professionalism.

Avoid unprofessional closings

Even if you are friends, avoid any unprofessional closings in a business email, including “See ya later,” “XOXO,” or any other informal sign-offs.

Use your full name

Avoid using just your first name or a nickname, unless you are corresponding with a close friend or colleague. Include your full name, so there is no confusion over who you are.
