                   •  Be  well  -  some  people  like  this              interview,     these     are     not
                       sign-off but others find it irritating            appropriate  signoffs.    Take  the
                       thinking      to       themselves,                time to write those emails.

                       sign-off while others really hate it              want the reader to know you are
                       from  Americans  because  they                    sending it from your iPhone?  Do
                       think it sounds pretentious- trying               you want the reader to know that
                       to sound too “English”, like when                 you  were  so  rushed  that  you
                       Americans say Ciao.                               didn’t have time to proof it?
