Name what they did, then say what it meant to you. "Thank you for the dinner" is polite; "Thank you for the dinner, I have not laughed like that in months" is a thank you.

Three things that make a thank you card land
- Mention the specific thing: the meal, the move, the late night, the gift.
- Say how it changed your day or week. That is the part that lands.
- Send it within a couple of weeks. Late is fine; never is not.

Questions
- What do you write in a thank you card?
- Name what they did and what it meant. "Thank you for the dinner and the company. I left happier than I arrived." Two sentences is enough.
- What should I write in a thank you card to a coworker?
- Credit the specific work: "Thank you. The project would not have landed without you." Specific praise reads as sincere; general praise reads as a form.
- Is it too late to send a thank you card?
- Almost never. A late thank you still says you remembered. Open with it: "Late, but I have been meaning to say thank you."
