10 Email Closings That Aren’t “Cordially”
Stop writing "Cordially"
"Cordialement" → "Cordially" sounds old-fashioned or cold in English. Here are 10 alternatives.
Formal
"Kind regards," — Safe default for clients and new contacts.
"Best regards," — Slightly warmer. Universally safe.
Professional
"Best," — Clean, modern, widely used.
"Thanks," — Perfect when you've asked for something.
"Many thanks," — Slightly more grateful.
Casual
"Cheers," — British. Don't use with American clients.
"Speak soon," — Warm, implies ongoing relationship.
Situational
"Looking forward to hearing from you," — When you expect a reply.
"Let me know if you have any questions," — After sending info.
"Have a great weekend," — Friday emails only.
Watch out
"Cordially" → "Kind regards." "Yours faithfully" → only for unknown recipients. "Hoping for your soonest reply" → "Looking forward to hearing from you."
