Start with the example that matches your occasion, then replace the general details with something only you could say.
Address the person by name, thank them for a specific gesture and explain why it mattered. A detail such as a favorite dish, a thoughtful gift or help with a project makes the note personal.
A few focused sentences often work well for a card or package insert. A personal letter can be longer. Use enough space to explain your message, then review the layout so the text fits the paper you chose.
