Writing a thank you note/boss’s day card

- Be true. Close your eyes and calm your mind for an instant. Then picture your boss standing before you. What has this human being done for you that makes you feel obliged? Keep that reflection and emotion in your mind as you write.
- Make it private. An ordinary moment at the office can occasionally provide the best example of what makes you value your boss. Think of a time when you worked together to meet a tense deadline, connected over a special project or put in overtime to make a client happy. Mention that experience and what it meant to you.
- Remember the nitty-gritty. Form your message as follows: Start by greeting your boss by name, state your basic thank-you message for your boss’s leadership, clarify a bit more about why your boss is significant to you, say thank you again to underline your appreciation, then end with a closer such as "Kind regards" or "Respectfully yours" and sign your name.
- Re-read what you have written and make any required edits. Check your spelling and grammar, too. A well-written thank you will hark back to your boss of just how smart and valuable you are.
