One of those things that's getting on my last nerve today:
Bossie insists that his signature block must read:
Sincerely,
Superman
Cheif Cook and Bottle Washer
even though it's on his official, personalized stationery, that has his name and title up there under the company name, with his number, e-mail address, and all that good stuff.
Now, I've been giving in for almost 6 years, but today I just want to take the Secretary's Handbook in, open it up to page 120, and show him the PROPER way to do it, no matter how he's done it in the past...
I feel better now.
BTW, Am I right with the correct format? His title should not be typed under his name, right??

Since I've never worked for someone with personalized stationary I've always put the title under the signature block. I looked in my book though and it says that when using personalized stationary you should omit the title.
He's probably just used to doing it this way and is stuck on it.

We use personalized stationary here too, and the SVPs think it's redundant to state the title over again.

We don't have personalized stationery on the project, but for the one person who is allowed to send out letters, I would put the equivalent of:
Yankeestarbuck
Amazon Princess
To be honest, I thought he actually wanted you to put the whole Superman, Chief cook etc. and all that! Can you tell I'm a little punchy?
Having an OK day - Yank

At first I got the impression he actually wanted you to put "Superman"--as some sort of joke or something--which made me crack up because one of the bossies here actually kinda looks like "Superman" (the Chris Reeve version, mostly) and I was thinking how funny it'd be if I put that on his letter, except he's not the one with that sort of sense of humour...
Anyway, only the principals & associates names appear on our letterhead, but we always sign that way too:
Sincerely,
Clark Kent
Principal (or Vice-President)
I don't think anyone will really notice--Admins usually have a much sharper nose for that sort of protocol than the rest of the world.

No, he doesn't really expect me to type it, but he DOES say it everytime!
