LETTER 7-8: THANK YOU FOR CONTACT
Friends and family deserve recognition just as much as business colleagues do. The only dif-
ference is that a Thank-You Letter such as this one (which is written to the mother of a high
school buddy) may be handwritten on personal notepaper, if you choose.

Mrs. Helen Gold
24 Oakwood Lane
Moorestown, NJ 09876
Dear Mrs. Gold,

Thank you for introducing me to your brother, Charles Armour. I spoke
with his secretary just this morning and have scheduled a meeting for
next Wednesday at his Maple Shade plant!
Armour Development has such a fine reputation in our area. I am
looking forward to touring your brother’s facilities, and gaining the
benefit of any advice he may offer in my job search.
Mrs. Gold, it was so kind of you to help me. I truly appreciate your
interest. Just as when Tom and I were playing football for the high
school, you’re still cheering us on! That support means a lot. Thank you.

Fondly,

Mark Reed
