Informal Thank you letter
Hello, Sherry,
I want you to know how much I appreciate your taking care of little Eric on Tuesday. It is rare to find such kind friends, especially ones who you can call at the last minute. With your help I was able to get to my doctor's appointment on time and get the medication I needed. I'm glad we've become such good friends. I really think the world of you and your entire family. Call me when you need a favour.
Love, Anna
