    Is this correct?
    à tout à l'heure (meeting again later same day)
    à bientôt (meeting later same week)
    au revoir (may or may not meet again)

    À toute heure = any time of the day.
    À bientôt = soon. (Interpret as you will)
    Au revoir = whenever we next meet.

    "à tout à l'heure" ... is the correct expression .. and means pretty much till later ... I find its normally said among friends ... who might see each other the same day ...

    "a plus" ... gets used a fair bit as well .. I guess depending on who you are dealing with .. and its a normal way to sign off an email
