Even though I may not say it all the time, I appreciate all you do.Thank you again, I really appreciate working with you.You can do this with a simple, straightforward “thank you” or a more detailed sign off. With the core of the message drafted, it’s time to end the thank-you note. I always ask for feedback, but people rarely say anything more than, “You did great.” Your feedback helped me rethink my presentation and gave me concrete things to work on. I want you to know I really appreciate your doing that. I know it took courage for you to give me honest feedback after my last presentation. I know it may have been simple for you, but when you stepped up and offered to help format the final document, it made a huge difference.Ī lot of people offer support, but few put their words into action, and I can’t express how much your support helped me get the job done and made me feel like a part of the team. The other day I was feeling completely overwhelmed and alone trying to get the report done for the client meeting. I know this is just who you are, but your check-ins always made me feel better and helped me navigate this last year. No matter how busy we were, you made time in every meeting to ask about my parents and check in on how I was doing. I was trying to work from home while taking care of my parents at the same time. In doing so, you’ll help the other person understand the reason you feel the way you do.Īs you know, last year was extremely hard for me. Be specific, and explain both what you appreciate and why. It may be as simple as bringing a smile to your face on a tough day or as big as supporting you through a difficult period. Next, focus on the impact their actions have had on you. I was reading an article in HBR about expressing appreciation and I thought of you.We have been so busy lately that I realized I haven’t taken the time to express my appreciation for all your great work.
