A new Web site is helping to revive the lost art of the thank you letter by making it simple to customize a sincere, well-written "thanks" for business or personal use.

ThankYouLetter.ws includes more than 100 free sample thank you letters as well as several articles with advice on how to craft everything from a simple thanks for a wedding gift to an acknowledgment of a business favor.

The advice articles include tips on how to write thank you letters written after a job interview, how to thank people for gifts and words and phrases to use in thank you letters.

"Sometimes, the task of writing a thank you letter, or even a short note, is so daunting that people don't know where to start, end up procrastinating and might not get the letter written at all," said Kevin Savetz, the site's creator. "But if you use these thank you letter templates as a starting point, it's easy to get your thoughts and feelings down on paper - or in an email."

"Thank you notes are obviously a kind gesture in personal situations," Savetz added. "But in professional settings, sending a well-written thank you letter can have a real and lasting impact on your career."

Some of the example letters at www.ThankYouLetter.ws include: belated thanks for gifts, thanks for attending a funeral and thanks to teachers.

Besides personal thanks and thank you letters from consumers, there are dozens of thank you letters for business situations, including networking and job interviews.

All of the thank you letters are free to download and print and can be fully customized in Microsoft Word or any other .DOC-compatible program such as Google Docs. To use the letters, site visitors simply download a free sample letter and customize it to their specific situation.

ThankYouLetter.ws was created by Savetz Publishing, Inc., a company that creates high-quality, content-driven web sites. The site is part of the Free Printable.net family of sites, which also offers cover letter examples and free resume templates.
