A common problem

We often hear how writing emails in English can cost just too much time. One solution that
works for many people is to begin building a “toolbox” of useful phrases. A toolbox is a
simple idea – you just start keeping a list of common and useful expressions – perhaps on
your desktop or in a notebook next to your keyboard? There’s nothing wrong with reusing
some standard phrases if it helps save you time and communicate clearly. You probably
already have 2 or 3 sentences you reuse again and again. But sometimes the tone just isn’t
right, is it? To help you find the right words when you need them here are 20 great
expressions for closing an email. As you read through them ask yourself two simple
questions:
