I have recieved a Office Depot Gift card from my former school teacher in a letter.How do I thank her?

Question

I have recieved a letter from my former school teacher, we have been mailing each other for like 10yrs and this letter & a card that I have just recieved this June.In the card it had a Office Depot Gift Card .I dont know how I'm supposed to write a thankyou letter, also since I dont want to write anything that I would sound greedy.

So what would it be a way to write a thank you letter for the Office Depot Gift Card?

Answer 1

It sounds perfectly fine to write a thank you.  Simply say thank you for the gift and that you appreciate their thoughtfulness.  When my grandmother sent me gifts for holidays and such, I used to always tell her what I bought, so she could feel like she helped pick it out.  In this case, however, I don't think that's necessary.  A simple thank you and such will be fine.

Answer 2

Get a simple thank you card, and write. "thanks so much for the gift card! I bought xxxx with it and I love it"  then go on to talk about other things, and at the end "thanks again for the card, that was so thoughtful."

Answer 3

Dear Teacher,

Thank you for your thoughtful gift card.  I enjoyed being in your class and learned so much from you.  Thank you for everything.

Sincerely,

xxxx

Short and sweet is fine just as long as you send a written note, and don't delay.  You must have been a special student to have a teacher send such a thoughtful gift.  Good job!
