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? Theres 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 isnt right, is it? To help you nd 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:

1. When would I use this?

2. When will I use this?
