Canned Signature

Do you have a "Regards, Pete", "Sincerely, Pete", etc. in your default signature block? If yes, get ride of it. This is like wearing a button that says "Thank you" and telling your Mom it's okay.

It won't take you but another second to put on the appropriate regards - if you even need it at all. Emails don't need to always be like a letter, "Dear Jack, ..... Sincerely, Pete". Just say what you need to say and make the closing fit the tone of the email.

Be human!
