A few weeks ago I booked a hotel room on the internet and once I had made the reservation the hotel sent me a confirmation email.
Great! I was happy! They responded to me in English, I guess there are not that many Spanish speakers called Daniel Smith! A bit too English I suppose :) It was great that they responded in English! They made an effort which I would never criticise. I did notice that they made a slight mistake when signing off at the end of their message though! They used: ❌ "A cordial salute" This really caught my attention because it's so close to: "Un cordial saludo" Clearly, this is used by Spanish speakers when they are writing in Spanish but cannot be used in English because a "salute" is more likely to be something you come across during a military parade (desfile). Here are some better ideas about how to sign off at the end of an email: ✔️ 1. Thanks ✔️ 2. Thank you ✔️ 3. Thanks in advance ✔️ 4. Best regards ✔️ 5. Regards ✔️ 6. Best wishes ✔️ 7. Best regards ✔️ 8. Kind regards ✔️ 10. Cheers (Muy British) Hope that helps!
