Informal Letter / Personal Letter | Acknowledgement Letter of a Gift | Shorts | Highlights

Описание: A specific category of thank-you is the acknowledgment of a gift given or a contribution made. An acknowledgment letter is similar to a thank-you note. If there is a difference, a thank-you note typically focuses on one short-term action, such as a birthday present you have received. An acknowledgment usually signifies something long term, such as the support a friend or relative has given you during a particularly difficult period.

Thank-you letters are event driven; for instance when your father co-signs for the loan on your first condo. An acknowledgment is emotion driven; for example, you feel an overwhelming need to thank your dad for all the love he has given you as a parent.

Both thank-you letters and acknowledgments cement your bond with the reader. But an acknowledgment may be even more powerful because it is not expected. Acknowledgment is a spontaneous act, compared with thanks, which are expected as the social norm.

Tips for Writing Acknowledgments

• Be sincere and, if appropriate, even emotional.
• Talk about only positive things; do not bring up any past conflicts or
problems.
• Recall specific events, deeds, and reasons why you are acknowledging the reader.
• Indicate the beneficial effect the reader’s actions have had on your life.
