Q: If your email is formal, sign off with something like “Best regards,” or (for an even more formal touch) “Sincerely.” For less formal emails, you may be fine using something like “Take care” or “Cheers.” If you’ve had previous emails from the person you’re writing to, you might look at their sign-off and match your tone to theirs. For example, if they tend to sign with something like “Warm regards,” you should sign off with a similar level of formality. Like the closing sentence, a sign-off can also reflect the purpose of your email. For example, if you’re making a simple request or briefly expressing gratitude for something, you might use a sign-off like “Many thanks,” or “Thanks so much,” followed by your signature. Unless you know the person you’re writing to very well, avoid anything too slangy, informal, or affectionate. In general, things like “Love,” “XOXO,” or “Hugs” should not be used in business emails. If your email is part of a long chain, or if you’re trying to communicate something very briefly and quickly to a co-worker, it may not be necessary to include a sign-off at all. If you don’t feel comfortable skipping the sign-off altogether, a simple sign-off like  –Bernice or –B. should be just fine for brief, informal emails.
A: Pick a sign-off that matches the tone of your email. Use a sign-off that fits your purpose. Avoid anything too affectionate. Skip the sign-off in brief or chain emails.

Q: Introduce yourself and give everyone in the room a chance to do so, too. Delivering a pitch can be a nerve-wracking experience, especially if it’s the first time you’re doing it, or it’s a really important contract. But you want to project confidence, so make sure to breathe deeply and take your time. Have good posture and try to minimize any nervous fidgeting. Stay as relaxed as possible.

Ask questions during the pitch so that you can understand their needs better.,  Be ready to give them good answers to their questions that keep pushing them towards your product or service.

Q: Along with your ingredients, there are a few kitchen tools and supplies you'll need to make this simple lentil dish. The most important items are:  Medium bowl Fine-mesh sieve Medium saucepan Stirring spoon Place the lentils into a medium bowl and fill it with enough water to cover the lentils. Use your hand to comb through the lentils. Pick out any organic debris or other matter that you find. When you’ve gone through the batch, drain the lentils through the sieve. While uncommon, there are sometimes pebbles or small stones hiding in lentils that can hurt or break teeth. In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils and bay leaf. Add enough water to cover the lentils by about three inches (7.6 cm). To add extra flavor and depth to the lentils, you can also add other ingredients, such as:  Herbs Spices Garlic Minced onions Put the lid on the pot and heat the lentils over medium-high heat. Bring the water to a simmer, and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Remove the lid and cook the lentils for about 25 minutes. Add more water as necessary to ensure the lentils stay covered. The lentils are ready when they are tender, and when there's no crunchiness left when you bite into them. When the lentils are tender, remove the pot from the heat. Drain the water by pouring the lentils into the sieve. Return the lentils to the pot and add the salt. Stir to coat the lentils before serving. You can also garnish the lentils with other herbs and spices, such as pepper, rosemary, thyme, and sage.
A: Gather your ingredients and supplies. Rinse and clean the lentils. Combine the ingredients. Cook the lentils. Strain and salt the lentils before serving.

Q: You should begin the cleaning process with your tape fast-forwarded all the way to the end. Press the button to open your cleaner. You should be able to easily slide the VHS tape in. Close the cleaner and press the clean button. Allow the cleaner to fully rewind the tape, cleaning the film as it goes.  The precise directions for tape cleaners vary, so refer to your instruction's manual to make sure you're using your cleaner correctly. Close the cleaner and press the clean button. Allow the cleaner to fully rewind the tape, cleaning the film as it goes. Most cleaners will have a button you press to run a cycle. If you're unsure how yours works, refer to the instruction's manual. Once the tape has run one cleaning cycle, remove the tape from the machine. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws from the casing that houses the film. After removing all the screws, separate the casings so you can reach the reels and film found inside.   Sometimes, tapes will have a sticker or seal on the side to keep the casing together. If your tape is sealed, use a small knife to gently slice open the seal to open the tape. The majority of tapes can be opened with a Phillips head screwdriver. However, if a Phillips screwdriver does not work, use a flathead screwdriver instead. Store the screws in a safe place as you'll need them later to reassemble your tape. Dip a Q-tip in a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. Swab the sides of the casing and around the empty reel to remove mold, dirt, and debris.  Avoid cleaning near the reel that the film is currently wrapped around. Only use your tape cleaner to remove mold from the film itself. You can purchase isopropyl alcohol at most drug stores. After running the tape through the cleaner again, you will clean the other reel. Therefore, do not screw the tape back together yet. Simply place the casings together again so they're loosely secured. Place your tape in the cleaner as you did before. This time, allow the tape to fast forward completely to remove any mold remaining on the film. Simply place the tape in the cleaner and then press the cleaning button. Once the tape runs through the cleaner again, remove it and open it up. Again, dip a q-tip in isopropyl alcohol. Use this to clean the empty real and around the interior of the casings. Remove any lingering mold, dirt, or debris. Remember not to clean near the reel that contains the film. Place the casings back together. Place the screws back in place. Use your screwdriver to securely screw the tape back together. If your tape had a sticker in place as a seal, it is not necessary to reseal your tape after cleaning it. You should always end the cleaning process with a rewound tape. Pop the tape back in the cleaner one last time. Rewind it to the beginning. When you're done, your VHS tape should be clean and ready to watch. Keep in mind, no method is ever 100% successful. Very dirty or damaged tapes may not come completely clean. You may need to consult a professional if your tape remains dirty or will not play after using a tape cleaner.
A:
Insert your VHS tape into the machine. Run the machine for a full cycle. Use a screwdriver to open the casings. Remove mold and dirt from the casings with alcohol. Place the casings back together. Use the cleaner to fast forward your tape. Clean up any lingering mold manually. Screw the casings together. Rewind the tape again.
