  • Close your letter traditionally for formal communications and with first-time recipients, using a closing such as "Sincerely," "Kind regards," or "Thank you."
  • If you have established good communication with your recipient, follow-up emails closed with less formal terms such as "Best," or "Thanks," are often appropriate, but always
