thank you email

Appreciation note sent

A thank you email is a brief message expressing gratitude, typically sent after a job interview, receiving a gift, or being helped in some professional or personal context.

The genre has conventions—promptness matters, sincerity should feel genuine rather than formulaic, and in professional settings the message often reinforces interest or summarizes key points: I spent an hour agonizing over my thank you email to the hiring manager.
