Thank you note
Thank you notes convey a sense of appreciation from one person to another. These forms of communication can be very important in terms of letting someone know that their thoughtfulness is acknowledged and valued. Thank you notes can be simple yet meaningful. Understanding the format of a sample thank you note will help you to write your own personalized note when the occasion arises.
Instructions
1. Write a personalized greeting. Begin with "Dear" followed by the person's name and a comma.
2. Thank the giver for the specific item or favor. Include a detail or two so that the giver knows you recognize which gift she contributed. This is especially important in situations where you receive numerous gifts. You should say something like, "Thank you for the red and white set of towels that you gave us."
3. Mention how or why the gift is meaningful or useful. Write something along the lines of, "Those towels match our bathroom perfectly!"
4. Add a personal note. You might thank the person for attending your party or event, or you might allude to an upcoming occasion. An appropriate example might read, "Thanks so much for attending the shower. I can't wait to see you again when we get together for girls' night out!"
5. Restate your gratitude once more before ending the note. Be concise, as in the statement, "Again, thank you so much."
6. Include an appropriate closing before signing your name. You could use closings such as, "Love," "Sincerely," "Take care" or "Yours truly." Choose a closing that matches the level of closeness you share with the individual.
