1. Make Sure It's acceptable

One of the main issues with respect to thank you letters is to know when to send one. As a normal rule, I would say "better to be safe than sorry". However, make sure there is something considerable about the situation. A thank you letter for a routine situation doesn't make sense and dilutes their meaning.

2. Write It Promptly

It is always best to send a thank you letter as soon as possible after the event for which you are doing the thanking. It will help with the level of sincerity in your letter if the event is still fresh in your mind. In any case, a delayed thank you letter will seem like an obligatory afterthought to the recipient.

3. Remind The Recipient

In your initial sentence, make it very clear that it is surely a thank you letter and that it pertains to a definite event, situation and/or person. This will eliminate any confusion on the part of the recipient as to the purpose of the letter.

4. Make It Short and Direct

Get level to the point and never exceed one page. Thank you letters should be short, direct, sincere, and to the point. In firm situations they will always type-written but personal thank you letters can be hand-written or typed, as acceptable to the situation.

5. Make It Personal

By definition, a thank you letter is a sincere personal gesture from one personel to another. It should be expressed as a genuine,sincere personal sentiment, even when written in a firm situation. At the same time, strive to be balanced in arrival and don't be overly effusive.

6. always Write it To One Person

Always write your thank you letter to an individual, not an society or group. Even if it's a situation where a group is involved, write your letter to the senior man in the group and/or the group spokesperson. Ask that man to please pass on your sincere appreciation to the other people in the group, and name them in your letter if possible. (Contrary to guidance given by obvious so-called experts online, in my experience, writing a group letter is Never acceptable and achieves puny or nothing).

7. Check Spelling and Grammar

As when writing all letters make sure you thought about check your spelling and grammar. This is even more important for thank you letters, since they are almost always a sincere statement of appreciation from one man to another. Be sure to double check the spelling of all names used in the letter. There's no quicker way to blow your credibility and sincerity than to misspell someone's name.

The bottom line on thank you letters is "make it acceptable and sincere", or there surely is no point in sending one.
