1.3.+Thank+You+Letters

Thank You Letters or Notes can go a long way toward making a lasting impression. Follow these guidelines: Sample Dear Ms. Bell, Thank you for pushing me to learn to type better and faster. I was a little lazy last year and without your encouragement I would not be the typist I am today. I now realize how important that skill will be in my future, so I am thankful I had your class. I appreciate your patience with me and am grateful that I had a teacher who was kind and happy. I liked your class because I got to play games on the computer when I finished my work. I hope you have a great school year and continue to make a difference in the lives of seventh graders. Sincerely yours, (other closings-Truthfully yours, Respectfully yours,) JoJo Smith
