| 释义 |
A letter of thanks or thank-you letter is a letter that is used when one person/party wishes to express appreciation to another. Personal thank-you letters are sometimes hand-written in cases in which the addressee is a friend, acquaintance or relative. Thank-you letters are also sometimes referred to as letters of gratitude. These types of thank-you letters are usually written as formal business letters. Some psychological research indicates that expressing gratitude by writing such letters can have emotional benefits,[1] but this does not apply to all circumstances.[2] News media have covered the tradition of handwritten letters of thanks from a cultural perspective, suggesting in particular that the extra effort represented by handwriting (as opposed to text messaging, for example) makes these letters more emotionally significant for sender and recipient alike.[3][4] Good thank you letters can benefit from using a recognized format.[5] References1. ^{{Cite journal|last=Toepfer|first=Steven M.|last2=Cichy|first2=Kelly|last3=Peters|first3=Patti|date=2011-04-07|title=Letters of Gratitude: Further Evidence for Author Benefits|journal=Journal of Happiness Studies|language=en|volume=13|issue=1|pages=187–201|doi=10.1007/s10902-011-9257-7|issn=1389-4978}} 2. ^{{Cite journal|last=Sansone|first=Randy A.|last2=Sansone|first2=Lori A.|date=November 2010|title=Gratitude and Well Being|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3010965/|journal=Psychiatry (Edgmont)|volume=7|issue=11|pages=18–22|issn=1550-5952|pmc=3010965|pmid=21191529|via=}} 3. ^{{citation|author=Trebay|first=Guy|title=The Found Art of Thank-You Notes|date=4 April 2014|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/06/fashion/the-found-art-of-thank-you-notes.html|newspaper=The New York Times|volume=|pages=}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.npr.org/2010/12/26/132263637/perfect-thank-you-notes-heartfelt-and-handwritten|title=Perfect Thank You Notes: Heartfelt And Handwritten|last=|first=|date=2010-12-22|publisher=NPR|access-date=2018-09-12|language=en}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://ideas.hallmark.com/articles/thank-you-ideas/how-to-write-a-thank-you-note/ |title=How to write a thank-you note How to write a thank-you note |first1=Jeanne |last1=Field |date=September 8, 2016 |publisher=Hallmark Cards |accessdate=October 12, 2018}} Further reading{{wikimedia|"letter of thanks" OR "thank you letter"}}
