Overview

In a sea of taps and swipes, Di Bona makes the case for paper, stamps, and soul. With wit and warmth, she reveals the surprising power of a thoughtfully written Thank You note to spark friendships, open unexpected doors, and attract the very best kind of attention-including love, money, and meaningful connections. Through personal stories and her simple ""Me, You, & Us"" formula, you'll learn how to craft notes that feel genuine-not generic. Whether you're job hunting, networking, or simply want to be remembered for all the right reasons, this book will help you stand out with style and sincerity. Di Bona herself sends over 1,000 typed letters a year (yes, typed-on real typewriters), and in Part II, she'll show you how to pick your own trusty machine, should the analog muse strike. As an extra treat, take a peek at real notes shared between Erica and a few of her notable friends and admirers-proof that heartfelt words can travel far and leave lasting impressions. By the final page, you won't just know how to write a Thank You note-you'll want to. Because as it turns out, saying thanks might just be the most impactful ritual you didn't know you needed.
