Example, here's a PM I sent somebody:

"I had to delete your post. While I do see the humour, I'm sure you can also see how it isn't appropriate.

Cheers
Ken"

By using "Cheers" in place of "Thanks" I still got the thanks message across, and the person receiving it knows that I was making a positive comment.

Another example; as an IT Support person:

"I have restored all of the folders that you deleted.

Cheers
Ken"

In that case, they are not getting a "thanks" from me- they caused me some extra work. But I'm not upset. So "Cheers" is also an appropriate salutation.
