In British English, it is used to end an email where we did not write the recipient\u2019s name. Instead, we may have written something like \u2018Dear Sir\/Madam\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Ending a formal email in a slightly more friendly way<\/p>\n<p>Use one of the following expressions.<\/p>\n<p>Best wishes, Ravi Menon<br \/>\nKind Regards, Meenakshi Sharma<\/p>\n<h3>Sample email<\/h3>\n<p>Here is a sample email.<\/p>\n<p>Hi Maya!<\/p>\n<p>How are you doing? Would you like to go to the cinema this evening? If not, how about lunch on Friday?<\/p>\n<p>See you soon, I hope.<\/p>\n<p>Love,<\/p>\n<p>Rahul<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now emails are used for both formal and informal communications. Still, the tone of an email is relatively casual.<\/p>\n<p>When you send an email never leave the subject line blank. When the receiver reads the subject, they should be able to figure out what the email is about.<\/p>\n<p>It is okay to write \u2018Hi\u2019 in the subject line when you are sending emails to close friends or family. They know you and will open the email even if you leave the subject line blank. However, emails with no subjects are more likely to hit the spam folder of the receiver. So, if you really want your email to be read, take the time to write a descriptive subject.<\/p>\n<p>An email does not have to be too formal. You should still follow the basic norms of courtesy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good to know<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you say your email address, say \u2018at\u2019 for @ and dot for . So if your email id is name@example.com, you can say <em>name at example dot com.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Some people put an \u2018x\u2019 at the end of an email. It represents a kiss. Only use it with people you know very well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some useful phrases for writing emails. Dear Gautam, Hi Meera! Hello Martin!
