It is common practice for a signature block to consist of one or more lines containing some brief information on the author of the message and a disclaimer. The UK’s ECommerce Regulations require all limited companies to disclose their company name, registration number, place of registration, website etc. in e-mail signatures. It is suggested good practice that charities do the same.
Below are some sample signatures/disclaimers.
