Knowing how to end an email professionally is crucial for writing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theforage.com\/blog\/basics\/email-etiquette\">clear, actionable emails<\/a> that leave your recipient with a positive impression. This guide will walk you through how to end an email professionally, from ways to send an email and best and worst email sign-offs to what your email signature should include.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-email-endings\">What Are Email Endings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An email ending is what it sounds like: the way you end an email! There are three main components of email endings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Closing phrases<\/strong>: The phrases you use to summarize your email before you officially sign-off.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sign-off<\/strong>: The word or couple of words you use before you include your signature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Email signature: <\/strong>Your name, and sometimes additional personal information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So how exactly do you end an email? Let&#8217;s look at best practices for each part of an email ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"closing-phrases\">Professional Ways to End an Email: Closing Phrases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional email closing phrases are the sentences you use before officially signing off the email. These phrases should restate and clarify the purpose of your email and end with a call to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhether I\u2019m emailing a prospect to get a meeting or emailing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theforage.com\/blog\/basics\/recruiter\">recruiter<\/a> to get an interview, I want to be sure that the reader understands exactly what the next step I\u2019d like them to take is,\u201d Otis Perry, business development representative at Forage, says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&gt;&gt;MORE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theforage.com\/blog\/basics\/how-reach-out-recruiter-linkedin\">How to Find and Reach Out to Recruiters on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recipient should know exactly what to do next after reading your email, whether sending you times to meet, reviewing a document, or telling you the next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professional Email Closing Phrases Examples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Thank you so much for connecting!

While some people have strong opinions about which email sign-offs they prefer, you can\u2019t go too wrong as long as you choose something professional that suits the context of your email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI always say \u2018thank you so much for your time,\u2019 or \u2018thanks in advance\u2019 if the purpose of my email was to ask questions or if I\u2019m providing instructions on a project to someone,\u201d sats Daniela Camejo Sanchez, senior writer at WriterArmy, a content production agency. \u201cExpressing gratitude and kind regards is always a good idea!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Formal Email Sign-off Examples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Formal email sign-offs concisely wrap-up the email professionally without being too familiar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Sincerely<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Best<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kindly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Warm regards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All the best<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thank you<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thank you in advance<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Casual Email Sign-Off Examples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering how to sign an email more casually? If you&#8217;re emailing someone at work who you have a fairly casual relationship with, there are still options for keeping it professional with a casual tone. Casual email sign-offs \u2014 that are still appropriate for the workplace \u2014 include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Have a great day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stay tuned<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cheers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take care<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Talk soon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Onwards and upwards!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Looking forward to hearing from you<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thanks<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inappropriate Email Sign-Offs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few professional email sign-offs to avoid, most of which are too casual or inappropriate for the workplace. Examples of these include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Love<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thx<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yours truly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>XO<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peace out<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>See ya<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u270c\ufe0f (or any other emoji)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"email-signature\">What to Include in a Professional Email Signature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve signed off, you want to include your name and, depending on who you\u2019re talking to, a few additional details. For example, if you\u2019re speaking with a recruiter or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theforage.com\/blog\/basics\/networking\">networking<\/a> connection, you may want to share additional contact information and a link to your website. Besides your name, you may consider including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Your current title&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your university and graduation year (if you\u2019re a student)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your phone number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your email address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your location<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A link to your website or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theforage.com\/blog\/basics\/online-portfolio\">online portfolio<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A link to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theforage.com\/blog\/basics\/how-use-linkedin\">LinkedIn<\/a> or other professional social media accounts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tone\">What Tone Should You Use When Ending a Professional Email?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine what tone to use at the end of your professional email, Camejo Sanchez says it\u2019s all about knowing who you\u2019re communicating with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEspecially if this is the start of a conversation with a person you don\u2019t know, do your research,\u201d Camejo Sanchez says. \u201cAsk yourself, how do they present themselves professionally? What is their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theforage.com\/blog\/basics\/personal-brand\">personal brand<\/a> like? Do they seem like they value formal exchanges over more casual ones, or vice versa? You can tell a lot about a person by reading a few professional posts they\u2019ve shared online.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet no matter who you\u2019re emailing, Perry says to remember there\u2019s a human behind the email, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI often try to dance the line between a formal and casual tone,\u201d he says. \u201cI definitely want to be respectful and not say anything that may offend or disengage the reader. However, I want to humanize my email as much as possible and communicate in a conversational tone so it\u2019s easier for readers to digest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div class=\"forage-core-course-card\">\n\t\t<div class=\"forage-core-course-card__inner\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"forage-core-course-card__col\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"forage-core-course-card__row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/theforage.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/RIME-law-150x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theforage.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/RIME-law-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theforage.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/RIME-law-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theforage.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/RIME-law-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theforage.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/RIME-law-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theforage.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/RIME-law-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/theforage.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/RIME-law-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/theforage.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/RIME-law-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"forage-core-course-card__name\">Introduction to Law<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"forage-core-course-card__description\">Write an email to a client that summarizes key findings, shares additional information on relevant topics, and suggests solutions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"forage-core-course-card__button forage-core-course-card__button--desktop\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theforage.com\/simulations\/prime-uk\/intro-law-exfv\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGet started\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"forage-core-course-card__col\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"forage-core-course-card__time\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"label\">Avg.
