Saying it with a note

-

Saying thank you is a British tradition, and nothing quite beats the feeling of receiving a thank you note. Receiving a handwritte­n note is one of the most powerful ways of saying thank you, next to being thanked in person, but this

well-loved art seems to be dying out due to the rise of messaging apps. Research from specialist insurer Ecclesiast­ical reveals that while writing a note of thanks makes more than half of Brits happy, only 44% of 18 to 24-year-olds choose to write a note of thanks these days. Many of them say they feel embarrasse­d by their handwritin­g, are not confident with their spelling, and simply just don’t know what to write. But it’s simple – writing a note of thanks shows appreciati­on beyond measure, which is something we can’t put a price on.
