ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Signature block

Hi there! Do you know what a signature block is? It's kind of like writing your name at the end of a letter or an email. But instead of just your name, a signature block usually has more information.

A signature block can have your name, your job title (like teacher, doctor, or manager), your work email address, and maybe even your phone number. It's like a little introduction or business card at the end of your message.

Think of it like when you write a letter to your friend. You might write, "Love, Sally" at the end to show that it's from you. Well, a signature block is like that, but for more formal things like business emails or letters. It's a way to make sure the receiver knows who sent the message and how to contact them if they have questions or want to reply.

So, just like how you sign your name at the end of a card or letter, adults use signature blocks at the end of their emails and other professional messages to show who they are and how to get in touch with them.
