Professional Business Thank You Letter Writing
On Friday you had the opportunity to visit iDEAL Technology Corporation or L&L Products. Both of these companies
opened their doors to show you what manufacturing is, the various professions that coordinate and work together and
possible future career opportunities. You were exposed to new ideas, new experiences, and got to see first-hand how the
classes you take here at RETC relate to the workforce. To show the companies your appreciation for their time and effort
they put forth you will write a professional business thank you letter. If you did not attend the field trip please consider
someone else on a professional level who you could write a letter to.

The structure of the business thank you letter is as follows:
Step 1:
The first part of the thank you letter
states your purpose. This of
course is the expression of
gratitude.
Step 2:
The second part of the thank you
letter gives the details or
background information for the first
part. For example, if you are
thanking the guest speaker, you
will go into a little more detail about
what the person had to say.
Step 3:
The last part of the thank you letter
acts as a summary of the general
nature of the letter. It may be a
thank you or it may restate what
has been said in the first part of
the letter. For example: “Thank you
once again for taking the time to
meet with my classmates and
myself.”
Points to remember when you write a business thank you letter:
• Use a pleasant tone
• Pay attention to your capitalization, grammar and spelling.
• Make sure the business thank you letter is sincere
• Personalize the letter so that it doesn't sound like a “cookie cutter”
