Just say no to Sincerely

I was helping a friend copy edit an application letter today, and we got in a discussion about how boring “sincerely” is as a complimentary closing. One often has to use sincerely, but when you don’t want to, sometimes it’s hard to figure out what else to write.

I compiled a list, for your reference and pleasure, of the closings I’m used to getting in work correspondence.

  • Cheers
  • Best
  • All the best
  • All my best
  • Respectfully
  • Regards
  • Best regards

  • Yours sincerely
  • Sincerely yours
  • Humbly yours
  • Thanks
  • Thank you
  • Many thanks

For international flavor:

  • With due regards
  • Thank you dearly
  • Thank You for your attencion
  • С нетерпением жду Вашего ответа (I look forward to your response)
