Maybe it is easy for you to write a thank you note. But writing such a letter with a message that will last and that will have a certain impact on the reader, is a bit more difficult. Not anymore after you have read below guidelines and tips.
The answer on how to write a thank you letter is actually not that difficult. Like most correspondence, you have to imagine the person who will read the message.
Then, you have to answer the question: 'What is where I want the receiver of this letter to thank for? Did he/she surprise you with a present for you birthday, celebration, etc.? Or was it because you were invited for an event? And did you come, or do you want to thank for the invitation, but you will not participate? Let's give a sample thank you letter:
THANK YOU FOR THE INVITATION
Dear [name],
Many thanks for the invitation for attending the 100th anniversary on the 14th of July.
It is a real honour for me and my wife, that we are invited for such a special occasion. We have meanwhile found a very appropriate present for you, which we should like to hand over to you personnally during this event.
However, and I am really sorry to let you know, we will not be able do this, as at the same time we are expected on a family reunion, which we have promised to attend.
I will call you after the anniversary to make an appointment, at which occasion I will congratulate you with this special occassion, and hand over the present, which will wait for you.
Thank you again for the invitation, also on behalf of my wife, and we wish you and your colleagues a fantastic day.
Warmest regards,
[name]
