If you received superior service from someone, a thank-you is not only appreciated, but can also serve as a reference they'll use for future clients.

2torial #0547: Learn2 Write a Thank-You Note Mail it! The hard part is over--now you just have to send the note on its way. The sooner you can do this, the better. This is especially true for job interview situations; sending the note within 24 hours is imperative if you want to make a real impact. It's okay to send personal notes up to a few days after receiving a gift, favor, or attending a special occasion. But don't take any longer than a week. As mentioned previously, if you're sending a bunch of thank-you notes following a wedding or other large gathering, it's okay to take up to a month following the event. Some rumor mills claim the wedded pair have up to a year to send thank-you notes, but this isn't the case. Imagine how you'd feel if you sent someone a large check or expensive gift and then didn't hear from them for nine months! When it's all written and done, and as you're walking back from the mailbox, enjoy a thorough sense of goodwill. You've just done something really nice for someone who did something nice for you. -end- Learn More! or All steps at once (printable version)
