Thank you wording
Source:- Google.com.pk
The answer is because although we live in a high-tech society, there are many times when sending a real, hand-written note in the mail is not only the proper and polite thing to do, but it is just "the" correct thing to do.
And unfortunately, in some cases today, buying a pre-worded card and simply signing it, is considered insensitive. So what to do? It's hard enough if you know the person, but if you don't know them well, it makes it even worse. What to say?
In today's world, we still need to feel in touch with others. And because of this, we want to be touched with a real communication. We want to hold it! We want to see handwriting! We want to display it on our mantels and tables as a sign someone cares about us. We do not want E-mail or E-greeting cards!
And we certainly don't always want a voice mail message. :(
But the art of writing a note for times such as birthdays, thank-you notes for Christmas, Bar Mitzvah, First Communions, or to someone who helped you in some way has seemed to have evaporated from today's society? Only those who sent gifts or money during family deaths, graduations or weddings seem to write a hand-written card with their gift or receive one as a thanks for the gift, today.
And, yet we long to find a friendly piece of communication amongst the bills and junk mail don't we?
1. Don't write the note when you haven't got a lot of time to think and write. You need to stop and contemplate about who the person is you are writing to. Do not write, "Dear Aunt." It's best to always use the person's name. Write, "Aunt Maria" instead. Or if you are writing to someone that you know their nickname, write that. Put down, "Dear JellyBean" or "Hi There Soccer Mom."
2. If possible, try to connect with someone via an event that you know about that's going on in their lives. For example start out with:
" Dear Jean,
I realize your eyes will be blood shot and you'll probably fall asleep reading this from lack of sleep, but I wanted to congratulate you on the adoption of your new baby boy. Happy Motherhood!"
3. Or focus in on a person's hobbies that you know about. Or even their weaknesses (i.e. shopping, chocoholics, gardening, cooking, etc.) So you could begin a letter with:
"Dear Mark,
So have you crashed any more remote control airplanes this past year? Have you considered kite flying instead? "
4. If you're sending a gift, key into it and explain why you bought it for that person. For example:
"Dear Carla,
I decided to send you this "Vanille Cafe" perfume by Comptoir Sud Pacficque because the smell reminded me of all the times we sat at Starbucks where I talked and you listened to all my troubles. Remember?"
5. If you're living in two different parts of the country (or world) now, sometimes you don't really need to write much if something of common interest appears in your paper. You could send an article about an old classmate or something and simply say, "I don't have time to write, but I knew you'd be interested in this newspaper article." You're still making that personal connection through the article even though you do not write much.
6. Use lists of imaginary gifts, as a way of saying that if you could be there you'd be giving them. For example:
"Hi Miss Red Nose,"
I hear you've had big problems shaking the Flu bug this year? Well,
I'm wish you a nice big bowl of chicken soup, peppermint tea, and 6 boxes of Kleenex. Hurry up and get well because your desk is horrendous with work."
7. Sometimes using a quote helps break the ice to start a note to someone. For example:
"Dear Sarah,
Mae West said, "I like my men two ways...Domestic and Imported."
Congratulations on your engagement. But which one is this guy you tell me you're going to marry?"
8. Use real and natural conversation in your note. Do not write, "Congratulations on the birth of your new daughter." That sounds stiff, dull and rather impersonal. Instead write something you'd normally say if you standing at her side such as:
"You just can't beat the smell of newborns to bring a smile to your face. I'm so thrilled about the birth of _______ (name of baby). I'm sure she/he is bringing a big smile to your face right now as I write this."
Exception: Do not use such real conversation that your greeting ends up tacky.
One of my pet peeves in today's society is the word "sucks." It seems that's the only adjective people use. Are we lacking dictionaries and thesaurus in our lives?
If you're a younger person and say a friend of yours was killed in a car accident or some other tragedy, please do not verbally or in writing use the hip language you normally say at a time like this. For example:
"I'm sorry to hear about the death of your brother. To lose someone at such an early age is such a loss to everyone, even those who would have known him in the future. People who drink and drive are idiots. And it really sucks that the drunk who hit your brother lived and he died. I am so sorry. Anytime you want to talk, give me a call."
You might think that's being helpful, but when there is a family drama, it's best to say nothing. Or if you feel you must and are at a loss, then just say, "Hey, I don't know what to say? I'm overwhelmed!"
9. Try to use a joke if possible that will work to open up a letter. This is especially true if you're going to be talking more about yourself than focused on who you are writing to.
For example:
"Knock, Knock. Who's There? Sam and Janet. Sam and Janet who? Same and Janet Evening.
Dear Rick, Let me tell you, the blind date I told you about was hardly an enchanted evening. It all began...."
10. Closing a letter all depends on how well you know someone. Many use "Love." But today that word doesn't really express true feelings and in some cases can cause misunderstandings. So people often replace love with a lighter "Luv" as it's not too emotional as LOVE! Or they will use "Warmly" or "Fondly" or "Affectionately" or even "Consider yourself kissed goodnight" or "Imagine being Kissed on the Cheek Right Now."
