Tips when Writing Your Own Thank You Note when Receiving Money for A Graduation Gift
If you want to write your own thank you note, some tips and best practices to keep in mind are to:
- Thank the person for their generosity (no matter the amount) as they didn’t have to send you money, but they chose to.
- Describe what you plan to use the money for if applicable, it’s nice for the sender to know their hard-earned money is going to go to good use.
- Express your appreciation and gratitude, there are a number of ways you can do this as covered in the thank you examples above.
- End your note with an expression of good wishes, let them know you look forward to seeing them, or similar.
I’m asked a lot about the tone to use in a thank you note. This comes down to you, your personal preference, and the person you’re thanking.
You should be you; if you’re a bit goofy in person, then let that shine through by saying something a bit silly.
Although, if the person you’re writing to is someone who wouldn’t appreciate that tone, keep it formal and sensible.
The real art of thanking someone in a way that’s going to resonate with them is to use the tone and language that they appreciate.
That’s something to keep in mind.
