For those in the military, it's always (supposed to be!) "Respectfully," or "Very respectfully,", oftentimes abbreviated just R/, or V/r/,  And whoa to them who get it backwards.  But not me...  I don't play that!
Seems like everyone in the PHS does the "V/r" thing, only a handful spell the whole thing out.

Aside from that, I usually just go with the '"Thanks".  It may not always make sense, but it's warm and polite, and you can't go wrong with that.  

 
I doctored the mandated company logo to take the stupid, effing connected vehicle logo off.

Ov'r here in East Tex....I see a lot of "God bless" or "Have a blessed day" or some wording followed by bible verse, or even the actual bible verse itself. I'm inclined to think this is a "regional" thing for this area.

 
Not to start an argument but a bible verse in your work email signature isn't very professional...

 
I see a lot of motivational quotes depending upon the region of the country as well. As far as it being professional, I don't see an issue when some of the companies that you cater to have a morning prayer before they start their work day. I'm not talking about churches either. I feel like this doesn't mean it should go out to everyone as a standard signature. It's an interesting topic since I'm not sure where the line is. CEOs get blasted for it but service technicians get by with it just fine...

:dunno:

I think it's goes without saying that it's regional.

It's usually not the "professionals" that sign that way.  It depends on the size of the business, too...but I would say it's not uncommon in the Lone Star state.

 
I don't know, maybe not up north, but even out here in the west I still see the occasional scripture on a government email signature, but I think the Northeast has more people looking for something to be offended about

 
My default is just

Company blah blah crap

But sometimes I'll add a "Thanks, Kzieg" if I'm feeling the need to be friendly.
