Can anyone tell me how to..

Applying to College

<p>write a thank you letter? I asked my teacher in October and she already sent in all the recommendations (at least I hope so). How to I write one? Do I type it or handwrite it? What type of paper should it be on? What should I say on it? When should I give it to her (she's going on maternity leave in Dec)? Should I also get her a gift? Also, are there any old threads that say how to write thank you letters?</p>

<p>Thanks for helping me out here! I'm not sure how to do this :P</p>

<p>Anyone have any suggestions?</p>

<p>I think a nice handwritten letter that says something about how she personally helped you learn, etc. I’d do it ASAP. Teachers get so few of these that they treasure them.</p>

<p>Anyone have an example? I need to write mine…</p>

<p>short, sweet and with something personal about that particular teacher, as opposed to just a generic thank you</p>
