Thank You for Money

Thank You for Money Thanking people for money isn't very different from thanking them for anything else-- except for one big thing: don't name the amount. This is the only case I can think of where you are not supposed to be specific about the gift that was given. What you do need to focus on however, is the gift you plan to buy with the cash. And when you think about it, it's just common sense. How tacky would this be: "Thank you for the money. I love money. It's nice to have in my bank and I know my friends will be envious."

No, instead you go the route of, "Thank you for the generous gift". If that seems like a minor difference to you and you still don't get it, nevermind, just do it. Or if you think that phrase isn't specific enough, add plenty of specifics to bolster it. Such as:

Dear Aunt Freida and Uncle Ted,

Thank you so much for the generous graduation gift. It will be well-used on my trip to Europe this summer. I was going to bring along my old backpack but now I'll be able to get a new one with all the bells and whistles. I can't wait to pick it out.

It was so thoughtful of you to remember me on my special day. Thanks again!
Love,

Dear Mr. Jones,

Thank you so much for the generous gift. It will certainly help with my college bills, which is a big relief. I may even treat Gina and myself to dinner this weekend. Thank you from us both!

Thank You for Money for Wedding Gift

Dear May and Bob,

Thank you so much for your wedding gift. We're going to deposit it in an account to save for a down payment for a new home. It's exciting to know we're that much closer to our goal, thanks to you!

It was wonderful to see you at the wedding. Thanks for coming, and thanks again for your thoughtfulness.

Love,

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sanborn,

We so appreciate your housewarming gift. There are dozens of ways we could put it to good use but I think we'll be getting a new couch. It will be the first thing you see when you walk in. Thank you so much for helping make our home more comfortable and stylish!

Warm regards,

Dear [Godparents names],

All I can say is, I don't know what to say! Except of course, "danke" for the very generous gift. I can think of a million fun ways to spend it. I think I will finally get the end table I've had my eye on but could never bring myself to buy.

You were so thoughtful to get me a gift-- especially such a grand one. Please know how much I appreciate it!

With love,

Thank You for Money Donation from Co-workers

Dear Friends,

I can't begin to express what your gift means to me and my family. The money is most definitely helpful and will go to extremely good use, there's no doubt about that. But more than the monetary value, I so greatly appreciate the thought behind the gift. Illness is a burden but your actions have really lightened the load. For that especially, I thank you.

This time has been difficult for us, but knowing we have the support of people like you certainly helps. Please know I won't forget your kind gesture. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely,

Thank You for Money
