But the digital age and the email signature have reduced the way you sign-off on a mail to a footnote. Just a typed name, and maybe a phone number or a Twitter handle – how utterly dull. Just as there is a way to write and format proper emails, there are also ways to end them well.

Emails and online correspondence are great mediums for liars. Namely, they don't have to see the person that they are lying to.
