		<description><![CDATA[
Signing off an email with &#8216;cheers&#8217; might be too &#8220;mock British&#8221; for our US counterparts, but the consensus amongst Lifehacker readers is that it&#8217;s perfectly acceptable on this side of the Pacific.

		<description><![CDATA[Whether work-related or on personal time, most of us send multiple emails daily, which is why learning how to properly close the correspondence is essential because, as the Washington Post notes, you can pay the price for a &#8220;careless closing&#8221;.
Peter Post, author of Essential Manners for Men says that &#8220;Sincerely&#8221; is an all-purpose and safe [...]]]></description>
