Professional Thank You Letter

Dear Miss. Maria,

I write to you to express my heartfelt gratitude for your donation for our new venture, Heaven's Abode Orphanage. We are getting volunteers for our first ever project on social work, but the main problem is the funds. You helped us to kick start the venture and I assure you it will be a success.

You are most welcome to drop into our corporate office any time you feel like knowing about the updates. We will be more than happy to have you.

Earnest regards,

Mrs. Ruby Donier

Business Thank You Letter

Dear Mr. Roger,

I wish to thank you for your timely intervention and support at the eleventh hour of the important business deal. Getting the ABC party's deal was of utmost importance to us and had it not been for your presentation, we would have surely lost the deal.

The incident was a learning experience for us and we will surely take it up with our marketing department to have a backup presentation and brief each one of us about it.

Once again, I thank you heartily.

Warm regards,

Daniel Richards

Personal Thank You Letter

My Favourite Teacher,

This letter should not be a surprise to you, as you are many students' favourite. I am one amongst those students and today when it is the last day at school, I wish to thank you for developing my interest in Mathematics and now I have decided to choose Engineering as my career field. Had it not been for your wonderful teaching methods and understanding nature, I do not think I would have ever liked Maths.

Thank you Ma'am for everything you shared with us in the class and for the personal efforts to put in getting our basics right.

Yours sincerely,

Robert Samuel

Grade 12^th Student
