Heck if I know. I don't put any sort of formal sign-off at the end, just my name (and, if it seems appropriate, my company sig line). I'll often have a last paragraph that serves as a sign-off ("Let me know if there's anything I can do to assist. Thanks!"), but no "Regards" or "Best" or "Cheers."
I do get emails from other with those closings. But, insidiously, they appear to be part of their sig line, with "Regards, Joe-Bob" at the bottom … in a different color or font. Which means there are no actual regards going on, just an automated pasting of text. How wude, as Jar-Jar would say.
How do you end your emails?

Why “best” is actually the worst
Awesome article xD
I end all of mine with "And if that's not good enough you can fuck off!"
+Les Jenkins I can't imagine saying that to my boss, xD
Imagining it is the easy part. 😉
+Les Jenkins Well, I just hope you type it in manually, rather than having it be an automated sig line, because rudeness should be personal. 🙂
