How do you sign your emails? Lately, I've seen some really personal/specific signoffs...

I've had people say "Blessed," or "Be Well," and other uncommon signoffs. Now, I'm thinking that saying "Best, or "Cheers" is boring and stiff. What do you use?

I use "Thank You" every time, unless I'm mad, and then I leave it off and just stick with a signature.

Mine are as follows: Kind regards - my most used - means that I wish you well and think nice thoughts of you. Warm regards - typically reserved for someone who needs support. A virtual professional hug. I find 'cheers' a bit informal for me, but living in New Zealand now, it is interchangeable with 'thanks' so there isn't a drinking connotation.

Depending on whom the email recipient and the general tone of the email is; the sign off is either “Thank You” or “Sincerely”.

I sign every email differently depending upon the subject and audience. For more senior people; I use Best Regards, Warm Regards, etc. For more casual encounters I use "Talk Soon" when I am requesting something I typically sign it either Appreciate your help; thank you for your help or again; something that suits the situation. In the UK and Australia; Cheers is a common greeting but doesn't necessarily translate well to US conversations :). I would recommend erring on the side of more formal unless you know the person very well. :)

It depends on the message. For general work emails I typically sign off “Thank You” or “Best” but if I am waiting for a response I say something like “I look forward to hearing from you” I do NOT ever say “cheers” because I feel like it implies drinking and you never know who might be in recovery. Just my personal opinion on that one. ??‍♀️

I am all over the place. I wish one more than the other, but it just depends on the person and the tone of the email. In general with friends, I say toodles, cheerio-lady/gent-"name initial". However for work, I keep it formal and at all time and I rotate them depending on the request, email content and the individual's personality. I keep what I consider religious statements out so that I do not offend anyone.

I generally say "Thank you" or "Thank you in advance" if I'm asking a favor. Although, if I start the email with something like "Hi Lenna, thank you so much for blah blah blah" I may end with Regards, or Sincerely.
