What to write in a thank you card
Writing thank you cards is such a simple, meaningful way to let someone know the impact they’ve had, and how much you appreciate them.
If you're not sure what to say, a simple, heartfelt note goes a long way. Here's a simple template you can use as a starting point:
Say hi:
Hi friend,
Hi friend,
Tell them why you're writing:
I wanted to send a little note of gratitude your way.
