Writing a thank-you letter can be a great way to express thanks for a favor (帮助;恩惠) someone did for you. Consider (考虑) the following steps when writing your letter, which will help make your thank-you letter more meaningful and sincere(真诚的).
Before you start, buy some special stationery, such as nice paper or easy cards. The stationery doesn’t have to be expensive, since even one-dollar card can be very nice. And you must decide whether you prefer to type your letter or (是..还是...) write it by yourself. Handwriting has a more personal feeling, while a printed(打印的) thank-you letter looks more professional (专业的).
Now, you can start writing. You should express your purpose from the beginning. Start your letter by thanking the person for the gift or service he or she provided. Then you should explain how you plan to use the gift or service, or explain how the gift or service has already been used. What’s more, you can also express your feelings on the gift or service by saying that “It was a wonderful birthday present…” It also helps to mention a personal feeling such as “I was just so happy with the party.” In the end, you should mention that you want to see or talk to the person again soon. For close relatives and friends, you can also tell them how much you miss them and express regret(遗憾) that their visit was short.
Sign your thank-you letter personally and with a heart. Try “Love”, “Yours truly”, or “Take care” instead (代替) of “Sincerely” as it is more for business.
In this way, you will always maintain (维持) a pleasant relationship(关系) with your friends and relatives.
