Thank you Letters

THANK YOU LETTERS

One of the most important and most forgotten steps is to write a thank you letter. Be sure to write thanks you letters to your buyers, those who do add-ons and awards sponsors, along with project leaders, advisors, parents and anyone who has helped you with making your project a success. Thank you, letters should be a personal note, thanking them for their support. While these letters don’t have to be long the more heartfelt, they are the better.

The basic outline should be:

Greeting

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Smith, or Dear Local Business.

Thank You

Thank them for their generosity and support
Thank you for buying my hog at the auction and for supporting the FFA or 4-H program.

This year I learned how to groom my goat all by myself.

FFA or 4-H has been so much fun

Because of the new friends I’ve met.
I’ve had many opportunities to lead this year at FFA or 4-H meetings.
FFA or4 -H has taught me about working hard this summer.

What they plan on doing with the money

I plan to put the money from the sale of my hog into my college fund.
