The right thank you note wording is essential to showing gratitude on paper. Most of us are left wondering - what are the right words for thank you notes to use?

This can be hard to know. For all that we're taught about grammar and literature in high school English class, very few of us are taught much usefulness in the way of writing. For instance, how to send the right kinds of thank you letters!

Here are some hints to help out, some blunders to avoid, and some free thank you letter samples you are free to use, if you like.

If 'Dear [Person],' sounds either too formal or too romantic to you, saying 'Hi [Person]' should be just fine.

Mention what the person did or gave to you that helped you out. Then, mention something about that item or act of generosity. How the act helped you, how great it was, what it says about the person, for an act of kindness. What you intended to do with the item, or how unique it is, or how high-quality the item is.

Yours
