Let's say you are writing an email to a teacher to request an extension on your English Paper because you are struggling to work on it. Why would "Thanks" or "Thank you" NOT be a good signature for this email?
BONUS: How can "Thank you" be altered to be appropriate?
Because the teacher hasn't given you an extension yet, so it's like you're making it an expected result. If the teacher gives you the extension, then sending an email to thank them afterwards would be appropriate.
BONUS: "Thank you for your consideration" would thank the teacher for considering if it's appropriate to give you an extension or not, rather than placing that desired result on them.
