Lesson #3. Five easy pieces to a perfect TY note.

From Susan K., my elegant friend who’s a MENSA member and Smith College grad.  In Bazaar Magazine — five steps to writing the perfect note:

(1)  Thank the person for the gift

(2) Describe what it will be used for and why you are especially grateful for it

(3) Make a reference to a recent event in the person’s life

(4)  Mention something positive that’s going on in your life never overusing the pronoun “I”

(5) Thank the person again for the thoughtful present and tell them you hope to see them soon.

I usually add a comment about how special that person’s qualities are — and why only they could have come up with this idea for me…because they are an intuitive, caring person…

See if that helps pad out your notes and let me know how it goes.
