Politeness

The French are so polite. Here's how a letter from HSBC in France finishes off: Nous vous prions de croire, cher Client, a l'assurance de notre consideration distinguee. As far as i can figure out, this means: We beg you to believe, dear Client, in the assurance of our distinguished esteem.

And you know what. Being polite really isn't so bad.
