Thank you email
April 21, 2005 7:50 AM   RSS feed for this thread Subscribe

I would like to send someone a thank you email after I have presented a proposal for doing business with them. A note in the mail will take to long - and they are a bit far for a hand delivered note. (Or should I hand deliver a note anyway?) Does anyone have a nice example "Thank You" note? Thanks!

This link, which I believe I found on the blue a few years ago. My sons and I still use this for thank-you notes.

Sorry, let me continue. I wouldn't e-mail, it's not "proper". Hand send or snail mail.

I agree, mail a note. Get some nice paper or notecards and spend a few minutes saying thanks, nice to meet you, etc. If you can even consider hand-delivering a note -- meaning that the people you are thanking are not in another country -- then mail will, in most cases, take a few days. Handwritten notes and snail mail are fancy-ish; there is really nothing you can do to dress up an email to that level.

This is some version of a note that I used:

Dear Yoda,
Thank you for the opportunity to present my proposal to you and your colleagues. I appreciate your time. If you should have any additional questions, please contact me at myname@email.com or at 123-456-7890. Thank you again, and I look forward to the possibility of doing business with you soon.
Sincerely,
bright77blue

Mail is much more classy. And don't forget, UPS or FED EX can have it there tomorrow for a fairly low cost.

Thanks everyone. I read (loud and clear) that email will not cut it, paper is better.

For next time I am going to get my Thank you notes ready, so after I walk out the door, I will pop a Thank You note in their mailbox.
