Thank you email
April 21, 2005 7:50 AM 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!
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:

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

Response by poster: 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.
