- Wait a day, a week, or a few weeks to digest the news and collect your thoughts before writing your note.
- Don’t do it all in one sitting.
- Draft your note first then edit, revise, and proof before writing your final note.
- Allow the note to sit for a day before mailing. Re-read it to ensure it reflects the true message you would like to convey.
- Include your address on the envelop to make it easy for the recipient to reach you, should they desire.
