Ten New Ways To Sign Letters

January 21st, 2006

Signing letters has gotten boring.

Sincerely, best wishes, from, yours truly — I mean c’mon letter writers of the world, can’t we come up with anything a little bit better? Can’t we come up with a list of ways to sign off at the end of a letter that would inspire, excite and intrigue the recipients of our scrawled words? Can’t we add some mystery and pure adrenaline?

I say, yes. Yes we can.

And so, without further adieu — I give you ten new ways to sign letters and I hope you will use them in good health, as often as possible, and with a sly grin on your face (which no one will be able to see because, c’mon, you’re writing a letter!)

Don’t forget my name is,
Pauly D

I’d wish you best wishes but you’re going to have to work hard for that kind of love,
Pauly D

He’s got a bomb,
Pauly D

Did you just hear that sound in the back yard,
Pauly D

Sometimes in life you just gotta say what the-,
Pauly D

I sincerely hope you save this letter because I’m going to ask to see it when I visit,
Pauly D

T, H, E, B, E, S, T — the best!,
Pauly D

Can someone call the paramedics, I think I swallowed a penny,
Pauly D

Do you hate me, is that the problem?,
Pauly D

I really don’t think you deserve more at the bottom here than my name,
Pauly D

i almost choked on my oatmeal. yes, oatmeal. you’re a genius, quite simply.

Comment by Sarcomical — January 21, 2006 @ 11:58 am

Sarcomical - Is that how you’d sign the letter? I don’t know, oatmeal is sort of an obscure reference.

I always sign my letters:

Simple collar band. 7-button placket. No-nonsense. The J. Peterman Coat (No. 1023), for men and women. Sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL….Price: $245 imported.

H.F. Peterman

P.S. Although I live in horse country, I wear this coat for other reasons. Because they don’t make Duesenbergs anymore

Comment by H.F. Peterman — January 21, 2006 @ 7:40 pm

Sorry, had one too many beers when I wrote the drivel you just read.

I prefer, “With all my love, by the way, I’m topless, ” “Best wishes my tits itch,” and “Ew, it’s sticky.”

Comment by Enigma — January 22, 2006 @ 6:00 pm

People still write letters?!?

Comment by Figs — January 22, 2006 @ 7:34 pm

committed, monogamous woman that i am, actually signed one
“I love your cock” last month.

It was better than “Peace. I’m out.”

no?

How about:

Don’t forget to floss,

Ooo, and let’s not forget this stalkerish favorite I actually received:
“The love of your life (you just don’t know it yet)”

Oh yeah — and enough with the “CIAO” crap at the end of letters. We’re not French, okay?

“CIAO!”, as the French would say… If they were speaking Italian,

Comment by Adam Block — February 23, 2006 @ 10:17 pm

Do these suggestions work for business letters too? I’m writing a letter for a professor soon, so I was thinking that “Loved you in the porn video,” was a good one to use. No?
