00:00 What your email sign off says about you.
00:02 Best.
00:03 You're classic and you're probably also in a position of authority.
00:06 Maybe law, marketing, PR.
00:09 Best is short for best wishes, but when you write it, you're talking about yourself.
00:12 You're the best.
00:13 You're cocky, but you deserve to be.
00:15 Sincerely.
00:16 Ooh, you're fancy and probably also spam mail.
00:19 Sincerely is what you write when A, you don't know the person you're emailing, B, you're
00:23 trying to sell them something, or C, you're currently unemployed and you're hoping this
00:27 uninspiring ass cover letter is going to get you hired.
00:30 Sincerely ironically comes off as one of the most insincere sign offs because seriously,
00:34 when have you ever used the word sincerely out loud?
00:36 It also comes across as very proper, but nine times out of 10, you're writing it when you're
00:40 sitting on your couch in your underwear eating Froot Loops.
00:42 Thanks.
00:43 You're chill, but you're also probably a people pleaser, especially if you add that exclamation
00:48 point.
00:49 You might be a freelancer and you don't have one of those automatic email signatures with
00:52 best in your name, and you never will because that makes you feel like an imposter.
00:56 You feel free to end each email in the moment.
00:59 Although nine times out of 10, it is some variation of thanks.
01:02 Thank you.
01:03 Thanks again.
01:04 Thanks in advance.
01:05 You don't take yourself too seriously and neither does anyone else.
01:07 Cheers.
01:08 If you're ending your emails this way, you definitely spend some time abroad and it's
01:12 become your entire personality.
01:13 You also want to make sure you come off light and breezy, even when your email is not.
01:18 You need those reports in the next 10 minutes and you're asking everyone to drop everything
01:21 they're doing and give you what you need now.
01:23 Cheers.
01:24 If you end your emails with a dash, you're probably going through life in a constant
01:27 state of crippling anxiety.
01:29 You've already spent 15 minutes deciding how to end this email.
01:32 Best felt too bougie and thanks, well, you've already said thank you 65 times.
01:36 You were considering using thanks again just to switch it up, but you're also working on
01:39 not being so damn thirsty.
01:41 Or you give zero f**ks and you truly couldn't be bothered.
01:45 Let me know if I missed any and I'll cover them in part two.
01:47 Cheers.
01:48 What your email sign off says about you, part two.
01:50 Respectfully.
01:51 You're somewhere where there's a hierarchy, maybe the military or the government.
01:54 A certain level of respect is required.
01:56 Do you actually respect the person you're writing to?
01:59 Maybe, maybe not, but they don't really care as long as you pretend you do.
02:02 With gratitude.
02:03 This is the varsity level thanks and usually when you write it, you mean it.
02:07 You're not woo woo, but you've probably read some version of the power of now or the secret.
02:12 You might even have a gratitude journal that you used for three days, although you continue
02:15 to tell people how beneficial it was.
02:18 Regards.
02:19 You're polite, but boring, or at least your email personality is.
02:21 You could have a wild or kinky side, maybe you even do coke on the weekends, but your
02:25 coworkers would never know because you lock it up.
02:28 Except for that one holiday party where you got wasted and did a karaoke version of Shoop.
02:32 You're still trying to scrub that off the internet.
02:34 Warmly.
02:35 At some point in your life, you were told you come off as cold or unapproachable and
02:38 that traumatized you.
02:40 You also potentially just delivered some bad news and since you don't know how to connect
02:43 emotionally, warmly will have to do for now.
02:46 At least until you can get in to see a good therapist.
02:48 Blessings.
02:49 You consider yourself and your words a gift to the world.
02:51 You might be right, or you might be high off all the sage and palo santos you're burning.
02:55 Either way, you have at least one astrology app on your phone and if you haven't done
02:58 ayahuasca yet, you will, preferably in Peru.
03:01 This is not to be confused with "Have a blessed day," which you wrote after your
03:04 fellowship meeting straight from Jesus' mouth to their inbox.
03:07 Very truly yours.
03:08 You my friend are extra.
03:10 You might be a lawyer or someone who works with contracts.
03:13 You just redlined every single word in the message you were sent and then smirked as
03:16 you wrote "Very truly yours," aka go f*ck yourself.
03:20 Sent from my iPhone.
03:21 First of all, congratulations for not using an Android.
03:24 You are chaotic, but honest.
03:26 You're not trying to trick your boss into thinking you're working from your desk.
03:28 You sent this email at the beach, biatch!
03:31 Or you're over 65 and you didn't know you could even remove this signature.
03:34 In fact, you're going to text your adult kid right now and ask them how to do it.
03:38 You would try to Google it yourself, but last time you were alone on the internet, you gave
03:41 scammers your social security number.
03:43 How'd I do?
03:44 Do you feel personally attacked?
03:45 Did I get them all? Should I do a part three?
03:47 Let me know.
03:48 Warmly, Kelly.
