Hey everyone.
So about two months ago my great gran gave me some money, $150AUD. I'm thankful and want to write a card thanking her for it and hope she enjoyed her stay in Australia before she goes back to England. She's 93. Only thing is I have no idea what to write and she's leaving tomorrow. What should I say in the card? I really need some help with this because I don't know her very well. I've only met her a couple times in my life.. Thanks :')

Dear Great Gran/Nana/whatever you call her

It's been wonderful having you here this past X months, I've really enjoyed your company and the time we've spent together. I hope you liked it here too and will come back soon,

Love Anon.


Other than that, I don't see any point in mentioning the money. Her just knowing that you liked spending time with her will be thanks enough.

Also if that's her in the picture, she's adorable.

Write some warm words from me too, she looks like a lovely lady. You are lucky to have your great gran here, love her with all your heart anon.

I don't understand you westerners, just hug her, thank her for the gift and be done with it. Why write a stupid card, are a small child or something?
>>
>>18483680
What illiterate country are you from, that you don't understand the value of a card?
>>
>>18483660
This, though I WOULD mention the money, especially if you can say something that will put a glow in her heart, like "It's the start of my college fund" or "Remember how we talked about how much I wanted to visit Melbourne? Well, this will make it possible" or the like. NOT "I've already spent it all on booze and porn"
>>
Well i personally wouldn't mention the money, i also don't see the point of the card. If you can spend some time with her before she leaves and say it in person.

And call her from time to time anon, even if its just to say hello that probably means much more than "thx for the cash granny"
>>
>>18483660
this. don't mention the cash directly, just add something like "thanks for your gift, it was much appreciated."
>>

If you are white and not trash, you absolutely must write a thank-you note. I would mention the money as a gift:
> Thank you for your kind gift, too, Nananon.

This. Thank-you notes, for whatever reason probably originating in Victorian Britain, lie at the heart of Anglo culture. That means that Five Eyes countries (US, UK, CAN, AUS, NZ) and some former UK colonies make sending thank-you notes (not necessarily cards—nice paper with an envelope will do) a marker of cultural belonging and class status. It's one of those things you have to learn to fit in with middle and upper class society in the Anglosphere. Failing to send a thank-you note WILL be noticed.
