Dear Mr. Machiniak,
Thank you so much for taking time to write a letter of recommendation for me.

Warning-proceed with caution
![Page 29: When do I need to write one? - 2018 Senior Classseniors.buchananschools.com/.../8714975/_thank_you_term2.pdf · 2018-10-10 · 7. Grace May 12, 2012 Dear Mr. Machiniak, Thank you](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041921/5e6bd0fe316cdc61eb4e63eb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
the just writing trap
• You are not ‘just writing to say’ as in I am just writing to say; that’s stating the obvious.
• If the giver is reading, clearly you have already written.
![Page 30: When do I need to write one? - 2018 Senior Classseniors.buchananschools.com/.../8714975/_thank_you_term2.pdf · 2018-10-10 · 7. Grace May 12, 2012 Dear Mr. Machiniak, Thank you](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041921/5e6bd0fe316cdc61eb4e63eb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
$$$$ requires a different approach
![Page 31: When do I need to write one? - 2018 Senior Classseniors.buchananschools.com/.../8714975/_thank_you_term2.pdf · 2018-10-10 · 7. Grace May 12, 2012 Dear Mr. Machiniak, Thank you](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041921/5e6bd0fe316cdc61eb4e63eb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What about cash or checks?
• If the gift was cash, allude to how you will use the money, but do not itemize your planned purchases line by line, instead simply say:
It will be a great help when I purchase the things I will need for my apartment.
![Page 32: When do I need to write one? - 2018 Senior Classseniors.buchananschools.com/.../8714975/_thank_you_term2.pdf · 2018-10-10 · 7. Grace May 12, 2012 Dear Mr. Machiniak, Thank you](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041921/5e6bd0fe316cdc61eb4e63eb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
NEVER MENTION DOLLAR
AMOUNTS OR MONEY
• Thank you for your generosity.
• Thank you so much for your kindness.
![Page 33: When do I need to write one? - 2018 Senior Classseniors.buchananschools.com/.../8714975/_thank_you_term2.pdf · 2018-10-10 · 7. Grace May 12, 2012 Dear Mr. Machiniak, Thank you](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041921/5e6bd0fe316cdc61eb4e63eb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
All Cash Denominations become
• ‘your generosity’ or ‘your kindness.’

Dear Mr. Machiniak,
Thank you so much for taking time to write a letter of
recommendation for me. The letter is an important part of my
application, and without it I could not apply to Michigan State
University.
You have always been a thoughtful administrator and taking time
from your busy schedule to write a letter for me reminds me why you
are respected by so many students. I know I will always remember
our great lunch room chats.
Thank you so much for all you do for the students at Buchanan
High School.
Sincerely,
Sandra
