Memo/notice punch line -
"Thank you for your understanding " or "Thank you in advance " or " Thank you for your cooperation" I am sure there are more.

One more " Thank you for your patience ".

Are these types of comments needed, are they a bit of an assumption or arrogant as often one may not agree or feel insulted?

Thank you in advance for your sensible replies or in fact any.

I sign off with

Yours aye,
My name
Address block

Maybe a form of manipulation?


How can you not be patient, when you've already been thanked for it?

"Thank you in advance "

One of my biggest pet hates. I may not do what they're asking simply because of it.

"Too easy"

In business, Yes! They are needed. It's great to be friendly, but the absence of these stinks of familiarity.

Big fan, I see it as a free thank you. If I don't do it, I still got the thanks already , and if I do it, then I usually get another thanks once I do it. So it's basically something for nothing.

anyone giving away thanks with no deposit like that is a grade A sucker imho.
