How-To: Thank You Notes

Start by directly saying “thank you” for whatever thing is the subject of the letter.

• Thank you so much for the lovely Christmas gift!

• Thank you so much for coming to visit!

• Thank you for helping us move!

Mention what you like about the gift or why the subject of the “thank you” is special.

• I have had my eye on one of these for a while and orange is my favorite color!

• It was such a fun time hanging out and finally getting to show you around town.

• I’m not sure that we could have done it without you!

Optional: Mention any related or off-topic subjects. Maybe follow up with a conversation or offer.

• I will have to show it off to you the next time that we get to see each other.

• We will be sure to let you know the next time that we are in New York! I would love to take you all out for dinner sometime.

• By the way, I was able to fix my sewing machine! Feel free to bring that blanket at any time and I can mend it.

Thank them again and sign at the bottom.
