Step 1: 簡單問候
怎麼開始一封感謝信取決於這封信有多“正式”和我們與對方的關係;如果是親近的朋友,就算捨棄這一步也無妨,但如果是商業書信,請以 Mr. / Mrs. 稱呼對方。
Dear Aunt Jody & Uncle Max,
Steph!
Dear Mrs. Donnett,
Step 2: 直接進入你要感謝的主題
既然是表達感謝,就不用多加寒暄或委婉地聲東擊西了,直接告訴對方吧!
Your package made my day. Thank you for thinking of me.
Thank you so much for your suggestion regarding the restaurant.
Thank you for the opportunity to interview for the senior designer position.
Step 3: 提及一兩件具體的事件
你喜歡或感謝的具體事件是什麼? 沒必要誇大其詞,只需提及一些具體事件,或者也許是你在生活中如何實際運用上對方給的建議等等。 人們喜歡知道他們的時間和精力花得值得!
I'm going to use the camping equipment you sent on my trip to California next week!
The food was amazing, and the service was incredibly friendly too. They even surprised me with a special dessert for my birthday.
It was truly exciting to get to know your organization and the AI industry. It has indeed broadened my vision as a designer.
Step 4: 展望未來
讓對方知道,你不只是感謝他某件特定事件,更是欣賞他們作為你生命中的重要人物。 對於未來合作或相見的機會都非常期待。
I can’t wait to have lunch with you guys next month.
We’d love to have you over for dinner sometime soon.
I am sincerely interested in the position and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Step 5: 以更多的感謝作結
把注意力帶回你初始的感謝,讓對方感到窩心。
I can’t believe you remembered my birthday, thanks again!
We are so grateful for your generosity, thank you for thinking of us.
I greatly appreciate your consideration.
