　　Using an ending that is too casual for the situation may not always be inappropriate. Conversely， using a casual ending can show your self-confidence. But to do this requires you to gauge whether the recipient would like a more casual conversation.

　　邮件中使用一个过于随意的结束语，在某些情况下可能不太合适。但反过来说，使用一个较为随意的邮件结束语也能展示你的自信。但这样做之前，需要衡量收件人是否喜欢更轻松的对话氛围。
