In emails, pair a formal opening alternative with a warm closing one to sound polished but human.
Avoid sarcastic or funny alternatives in serious conversations. Tone misfires are hard to unsend.
Adjust one word to make it yours: swap a name, a detail, or a reference only the two of you share.
Match the register to the reader: professional for work, casual for friends, flirty only where it is clearly welcome.
