Instructions

- Step 2: Pen your message Write a short message on the card or paper. In the body of the note, thank the person you are writing to and describe in detail what they did to deserve thanks.
- TIP: Gauge your knowledge of the person to determine how formal the letter should be. If you know the person well, it can be more casual. If it is a new acquaintance, be more professional.
- Step 3: Include other aspects Include the other aspects of a thank-you message. The date, a salutation, a casual closing, and your signature on the bottom should all be included.
- Step 4: Send the note Make it a priority to send the note as soon as you have received the favor. This will maximize the note's impact. It will also be good for business.
- FACT: The earliest writing tools were developed by the Greeks, who used a writing stylus made of metal, bone, or ivory to place marks upon wax-coated tablets.
