Written parting phrases

Most of spoken phrases may also be used in written communication, but there are some specialized ones.

For example, various cultures historically have elaborate epistolary traditions, in particular how to end a letter, which is seen as a parting with the invisible partner in dialogue. English language letters are ended with the sender's name (for example, John Doe). Thus, epistolary parting phrases have the following form:

  • Best regards, John Doe
  • Best wishes, John Doe
  • Respectfully yours, John Doe
  • Sincerely, John Doe
  • Yours truly, John Doe

More elaborate endings are possible.
