However, what do you do when there’s a special event or particular occasion that requires a more permanent “thank you” – such as a birthday, wedding, job interview or special kindness?

Sending a written card, letter or e-mail acknowledges the person’s special recognition and offers your specific gratitude for their gift or their time – or whatever you feel deserves that extra touch of thanks.

When writing to a friend, family member or someone with whom you’re close, choosing your words can come easily and flow naturally – mentioning their gift or the specific occasion for which you’re thanking them.
