Nothing says thank you like a piece of paper with words written on it. In fact, they call it a “Thank You” note. But why do you have to reinvent the wheel when you can just copy what I’ve wrote in the past and modify it towards your specific situation? These samples are only really useful for someone who has graduated from high school but has yet to go to college. Nifty, ain’t it?
I think I did a damn fine job with these Thank You notes, so here they are!
–
SAMPLE 1 (For a college graduate):
Dear (INSERT NAME HERE),
Thank you very much for the very generous (INSERT ITEM HERE, OR SAY “GIFT” OR “PRESENT”), as I know this will most certainly help me in my college years, and also help prepare me for my future life after college.
I want to express how much it means to me that you’ve always been there for me throughout my life. If you had not been able to take me to my medical, dental, and other appointments when I had no other way to get there, it would have been too hard to get to those appointments. I also want to thank you severely for all the times you came over to our house and made food for us.

SAMPLE 2 (For moving away to college):
Dear (INSERT NAME HERE),
I want to thank you for the (INSERT ITEM HERE, OR SAY “GIFT” OR “PRESENT”) you gave me. It was very generous of you to do so, and I will definitely make use of it when I go to college. It will help make college easier for me, because I will have the ability to buy things for my room, making my day-to-day life easier.
I’ve always thought of you as family, and appreciate your compassion and support through the years.

SAMPLE 3 (For a High School Graduate):
Dear (INSERT NAME HERE),
Thank you very much for being able to attend my high school graduation. It means a lot to me that you were able to take off work and drive all the way over to (INSERT YOUR CITY) to see it. It was very meaningful to me that you both have supported me as much as you could through the years, and helped me out as much as you can, even though you live far away.
I appreciate the very generous graduation present you gave me. I will always remember your generosity and support.
