My grandma kept a drawer-full of greeting cards in her buffet. An entire drawer, devoted to spontaneous correspondence!
What a woman.
She alsokept plastic on her sofa and carpet on her kitchen floor. She really wanted to protect her furniture and linoleum.
The Thank-You Note is a classic greeting card and should be the foundation of any collection. Receiving a thank-you note in the mail is a little bit like finding money in last Winter’s coat or a good hat in a snowbank.
Let’s write one together!
First,choose a card:
Now on to the writing… We’ll break it down into 5 easy steps:
1) Begin with a greeting:Dear Aunt Shirley,
She loves to hear her name because cats can’t talk.
2) This is the meat of the note and notice there is no appetizer. This is a “note” not a letter. Cut right to it:Thank you so much for the medical marijuana!If the gift from Aunt Shirley was cash,do not mention it.Speak instead of her “generosity.”Thank you for your generosity!
3) Say a little bit about how you use or will use the gift:I smoke it everyday!
4) Mention the last time you saw Aunt Shirley and hint at a future meeting:It was lovely to see you at Uncle Bob’s funeral, I hope to see you again before your funeral!
5) And scene:Love, Fran
Oh, and here’s another card that will be added to the line:
