Your footer (in emails etc)

Hello,
I was wondering what your standard footer is when sending emails, private messages etc.

I tend to use one of the following but one is more professional than the other one, it's just to hard to know when to use which one:

• Best regards,
  Nico
• Thanks!

And also, where do you start with? Saying 'hey', 'hello', 'yo' or something else?

Could you share what you absolutely don't like that people do to you? I might learn ;) Thanks!

Since the majority of my email go to family and friends, I have no footer.

And truthfully, I do not even read footers in emails I get.

I start my msgs and mails with
Hey [name]
Hey there,
Hello [name]
Hello,

I end my mails, with my name following:
Regards,
Best Regards,
Cheers,
Thanks,
Cheers n regards,
Cheers.. Enjoy..

For me, it really depends on who the email is intended for.

Friends & Family

Begin: Hey, Vivian (or whatever name)
Close: Bye / Take Care / Later

Forum Members Who I Have Gotten To Know

Begin: Hey,
Close: Thanks, :cool:

Business Emails / New Forum Members

Begin: Hello Name,
Close: Sincerely,
Regards,
Faithfully,

I find using Hello is the professional way to go.
