I use "Thanks" any time my email contains a request and something like "Best" if the email is just to notify them of something.

- silisili 5y agoI like to think of it as multipurpose. Thanks for understanding. Thanks in advance(for a question or quote) Thanks for reading (for notification) If I were to deliver bad news or price increases or something, which I don't currently have to do thankfully, I'd probably go with best as well.
- mytailorisrich 5y ago"Thanks in advance" is generally considered bad etiquette as it is directive and, really doesn't add anything. It's just nicer all round to thank in reply.
- pm3003 5y agoA manager at my company finishes all his mails to those who aren’t his superiors with “A très vite” which means “See you/hear from you very soon”. I always want to do that with people I don’t work directly with. But I’m not cocky enough yet.
- silisili 5y agoInteresting. I guess I can see why, depending on context. Like, if ordering someone to do something for you, thanks in advance would seem arrogant or even rude. When asking a question or seeking advice, it to me feels more polite. That said, I'm far from an etiquette guru, just thinking out loud.
- dandigangi 5y agoKind of similar to how I think of best but thanks is to preemptive if there is no ask so I add it in main message when there is something that was completed.
