Jacques Maritain,

Review There are many reference books on the market these days, some people might even say too many. 1001 Ways to Say Thank You is one book that everyone can use. Have you ever wanted to write a note, be it apology, condolence, or a thank you note? If so, look no further; this book will come to your rescue. When it comes to writing thank you notes, everyone gets bogged down with what and how to say it. This book is broken down into easy-to-find categories with several options to pick from. If you want to write an apology note, for example, the author has broken this section down into what types of apologies. You could be apologizing for not attending a function, your behavior, you forgot something or you’re just sorry for your actions. Hamilton also gives several pointers, for example be prompt. You should send out a note within two to three days after you receive something from an individual or a company, or when a friend takes you out for a nice dinner. If someone gave you a gift you should send a note within two weeks. Lastly, if you are sending a thank you note because someone sent you a note expressing sympathy, you have up to six weeks to reply. If you don’t know where to start, that’s no problem. The author’s book even gives you sample letters to help you out. One point the author makes is that "a sincerely expressed thank you note can be a very powerful thing." I know this myself, my wife is very good at sending out thank notes, and I am amazed at the responses we get back from people. I have found that most people are surprised when they receive a thank you note. It shows them that you truly cared enough to write to them. A sincerely written note means so much more than a telephone call or a text message. Gail Hamilton set out to write a book that can be helpful to the general public, and I have to say that she did a great job. The next time you need to write a thank you note and you’re stuck, head straight to 1001 Ways to Say Thank You. I highly recommend this book to everyone; whether you’re an individual or a business this is a must have.                                                                                                        Rebecca Reads
