<p>Hello,
I'm currently a rising senior and have a question about writing thankyou notes. I'm posting on the parent's forum because this is usually where the knowledgable people are. Anyways, here is the question... I've been emailing a two deans who have helped me with their school. (3-4 emails) and I'm wondering whether or not it would be apropriate to send the deans a hand written thankyou note. Their advice has actually helped me alot and the deans have been very kind to me.
Thank you for your help</p>
<p>Since you have been emailing, it would make sense to thank them the same way–via email. Make it brief, but thank them for their time and kindness and tell them that their help has been valuable to you.</p>
<p>I think it would be completely appropriate and a very nice gesture.</p>
<p>Thank your or your responses I will definitly write a thank you</p>
<p>It is always appropriate to send a thank-you note when someone goes out of their way for you. If you have the person’s address (something that isn’t the case sometimes with, for instance, alumni interviews), then sending a mailed thank-you note is best.</p>
<p>I agree with Northstarmom ^^^. If possible, a written thank you note is the nicer gesture. If the address is unknown, then thank by email.</p>
<p>I agree that it’s always appropriate to write a thank-you note to anyone who helps you or to whom you’re grateful. Can you imagine someone thinking “Oh, gee, why did they thank me?” 
People are touched when someone takes the time to appreciate their efforts. I think an email is fine if all of your communication has been in that form. If you know the person personally, the written note is still better.
Good for you.</p>
<p>It is always appropriate for handwritten, stamped, US postage mailed thank you notes. Good job thinking about sending them.</p>
<p>I’m definitly sending a thankyou note to 3 deans… They all have responded to my questions through email and have helped me in this horrid process.</p>
