咪再用Best Wishes!十大商業E-mail結語格式用法皆不同！
Email結尾語只會用Best Regards？這種「大路野」顯得你完全沒有誠意，但用其他結尾語時原來亦有不少禁忌！到底如何運用各種結尾語，使你的各種email下款看起來平易近人，卻不會枯燥乏味？ 1. Love [Very Personal] Love 當然只適用於私人信件，而且也只能用在愛人、密友及家人身上，就連相熟的同事也不適宜用Love結尾。也有人喜歡用「Lots of love」，但筆者認為這實在太露骨了…… 2. Ciao [Very Personal] 口頭上常說的「再見」，帶點玩味，別以為對著熟稔的客戶也可以亂用！這只適用於Personal Email啊！……最多最多，也只可以將它留給會與你一起共渡午膳的同事！ 3. Cheers [Personal & Casual] 其實Cheers不止於「乾杯」之意，但的確，在Email寫下Cheers大多都處於在歡愉的氣氛，例如完成了一個Project後便會以Cheers以示慶祝，並表示友好，也有祝願以後合作無間之意。要注意的是，Cheers應配搭輕鬆的內文，語氣也要連貫！因此這不太適用於正式的商業書信來往，反而可用於關係密切，而且等級相若的同事或合作伙伴。

Leadership Skills for Women
Many women feel they have to work twice as hard to be thought of as half as qualified as men in the workplace. Over time, there have been slight increases in the number of female world leaders and top executives, but things are far from equal. The good news is that many women have innate strengths and leadership qualities that make them just as, or some even more successful leaders than their male counterparts.
