Thank you messages

A thank-you note only needs two things: what they did and what it meant. These lines give you the second part.

Writing your own

  • Name the thing: the gift, the lift, the hour of their time. A specific thank-you is the whole point.
  • Say what it changed for you, even if it is small: “I used it the same night.”
  • Send it late rather than not at all. Nobody minds a late thank-you.
