Do you "sign" your emails? |
|
I generally don't (other than my sigline in my business emails, that has all of my contact info). I'm speaking more of personal ones here.
I have SO many friends who go this route:
Love (or some other closing line), ME
"ME?" Why "ME?" If you're going to make the effort to sign your email at all, why not type out your name?

1. for personal emails, just my name |
|
for business emails I have all my business contact info in my signature.
"Me" is stupid, though if I call my parents I usually say, "Hey, it's me."

3. well, yeah- as a greeting.... |
|
That's understandable. But at the end of an email, it seems a little silly!

2. Because everybody knows a "me". |
|
And because it beats identifying onesself as "Landshark" every single time.

9. Sometimes I sign them with a C. Otherwise, not at all. |
|
(Business-related emails do get signed with my full name and job title.)

Personal emails get maybe a name at the end, but only if I'm the one opening the conversation.
Business emails get a whole datablock, e.g.:
Fname Lname Business Position 800 number primary business email
and maybe a footer graphic with link to business.tld
Personal inquiries to businesses get:
Fname Lname Cell Number (id'd as such) primary email secondary email (note the lack of snailmail address)
Yes, I have 4+ email addresses

For work e-mail all of the details are in the signature line, but I'll always close off the message. For short informal messages I do sometimes just stick my initial, otherwise I'll put a closing salutation and my first name.

14. Yes, but after exchanging a couple on the same subject... |
|
I usually sign with an initial rather than my full name.

15. Sometimes, I do. All depends on the context of the contents of |
|
the specific email. Never have signed one as Me, that I recall.
