Dear [Friend's Name],
I hope this note finds you both well! I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your incredibly generous graduation gift. Receiving the $100 was such a wonderful surprise, and it truly means so much to me as I embark on this exciting new chapter in my life.
Thinking back to Thanksgiving when you and [Husband's Name] came to visit us in Tennessee brings a smile to my face. I cherish the warm memories we created together: the laughter shared over the dinner table, the stories exchanged, and the love that filled our home. Your kindness and warmth left a lasting impression on me, and I am grateful for the time we spent together.
As I move forward and explore new opportunities, your gift will help me in so many ways, whether it’s towards college expenses, a special purchase, or simply to save for the future. It’s a reminder of your support and belief in my potential, and for that, I am truly thankful.
Thank you again for your thoughtful gift and for always being there for our family. I hope to see you both soon, whether in Louisiana or Tennessee. Until then, please take care of yourselves.
With all my love and gratitude,
[Your Name]
