Still Ending Every Email With “Best Regards”?

“Best regards” is like that colleague who’s always polite…
but never really warm.

I see it everywhere.
German professionals sign off every email with it.
Formal. Predictable.
And completely forgettable.

Your email closing is your digital handshake.
It’s the last thing people read.
And Best regards often feels like a limp handshake — safe, but not exactly memorable.

You have other options:
Ones that sound warmer.
Ones that match the relationship.
Ones that actually feel human.

The shift?
Stop defaulting to Best regards just because it feels safe.
Choose something that fits the person and the context.

Your emails will feel different.
And so will the way people respond to you.
