When was the last time you received a hand-written note in the mail?
It has probably been a while. Yesterday, I wrote about the follow-up letter content. Most people assume that you would send that in email. You do. Some people also send it typed.
I send my follow up by email because it is faster and expected these days. I also send a small written thank you note. I purchased stationary (4 x 6 cards with my name on them) and envelopes (with my address on them). If you do not have stationary, just use regular paper. I use the cards as thank you notes for many things. It does not take more than a couple of minutes to write out the note, and then address the envelope by hand.
Writing an email is very convenient and everyone does it today. Sending a letter is rarer, but the most rare of all…sending a hand-written note. It is so rare that people get hand-written notes these days they seem to take particular pleasure in it. People do appreciate it and remember you.
BTW, I learned about it in the Rites of Passage book by John Lucht. Lots of great ideas in there.
