I'm seeing
Best,
more and more, maybe it's just me but I find it a bit cold and impersonal
"Best regards" is clunky and too formal and I'm not sure what it means
- 'All the best', perhaps. 'Best' alone.. means nothing, absolutely nothing.Nairn
- Best emails. We have the best emails. Tremendous emails.mort_
- lol exactly on both points_niko
- I use "Bests," fairly oftenscruffics
- Be best,palimpsest
- Best regards means that you are wishing them well. You could always tell them that you wish them well.palimpsest
- Or:
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I'm wishing you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you lovepalimpsest - gtfohans_glib

I tend to just go with 'Thanks,'.
Which, every time I do it on a response to a speculative enquiry or quotation, always seems a bit off.

You know ... it's been a dog's age since I've seen either 'Yours truly,' or 'Sincerely,' or anything like this.
And it was hammered into me as a youth that these were the end-all and be-all of closing business correspondence.
Then again, I hardly see anyone wearing suits since years, and I don't think I've heard anyone call anyone else Mr or Ms/Mrs So-and-so since about 20 years.
I guess things like that have all gone extinct.
- All of this to say: I guess formality and decorum are no longer appreciated. And that, apparently, what's considered polite has changed.Continuity

Warmth.
I remember on some Bjork newsletter thing from absolutely years ago, she signed off with that.
