Concluding Greetings
Could somebody provide a long list of concluding greetings such as "sincerely", "respectfully", "best wishes", "faithfully", and etc for writing emails? I would like to pick one for appropriate audience. What if I know a person, which greeting should I use? Again, I would like to see the list.

Hi, The list is pretty endless. It would narrow it down if you could specify the type of email you want to write. To a customer, to your lover, to your boss, to your uncle .

- Consider also that many people don't put any concluding phrase at the end of an email at all.

The main distinction with formal emails is this:
If you know the person's name, you use this format in your salutations:
Dear Mr Smith,
...
Yours sincerely,
[Your name]
If you do not know the person's name, use this format:
Dear Sir/Madam,
....
Yours faithfully,
[Your name]

Hi guys,
I would argue that email is by nature a relatively informal medium. I know that some people would disagree with me, but the idea of a truly formal email sounds odd to me.
If I were the owner of a small company, and I wanted to write to the president of IBM to try to get some business, I'd buy the best quality paper I could afford, get a really impressive letter head, sig

Thank you for all replies. I specifically look for some concluding greetings, so that I can write a letter to a professor whom I know. I know that I will no longer use concluding greetings, once I become a friend or get into a personal relationship. There is no need for formal greetings because the professor know me.
