    At the end of a letter.

    Hi!

    I found this wording at the end of a letter that is written by a guy who is annoyed at an administration.

    I expected sth. like "Mit freundlichen Gruessen". But there is this phrase.

    I don't understand this. What is the meaning of this phrase?

    It implies that the receipient is not worthy of any respect.

    "With the respect due to you" - it's a pretty nasty thing to say ;-)

    It means something like "With all due respect", but you would only use it (paradoxically) if you were mad at someone.

    ... die verschärfte Form lautet: 'Mit der Ihnen gebührenden Achtung' . . . ;-)

    THANK YOU!

    That applies to the content. It contains a lot of sarcasm.
