When to send one

Send a thank-you letter when someone gives time, advice, support, an opportunity, a referral, or a gift. A short note is often enough, but it should feel specific to the person.

What to include

What you are thanking them for.
Why it mattered or helped.
A warm closing line.
Your name.

Common mistakes

Avoid generic language that could apply to anyone. The best thank-you notes mention the specific action or moment you appreciated.

Example wording

Example: Thank you for taking the time to meet with me and share your advice. I appreciate your guidance and the practical suggestions you offered. It was helpful and encouraging.
