I meant to get them off the following week, but things kept coming up requiring me to travel and be away from my home, and I forgot about the whole thing after about two weeks. I've remembered now and feel really bad and stupid about it. I'm not sure if sending a thank you now would makes things better or worse. On one hand I want to thank everyone, but I'm afraid the long latency will only remind them of how long it's taken me. Should I still send them or not? |

Send the note. It is the right thing to do and no one cares if it is late. |

Call them up and thank them personally. I don't know if etiquette says you need to send a card for some reason, but to me a card is worthless. Sentiments expressed by some depressed failed writer, under which you wrote thanks? Nah, just give me a call. |

a belated thank you is still a thank you. old guys like me, were once youngsters like yourself and we understand ... but it is something that you have to do. i still recall struggling with this as a youngster ... forgot to send a thank you then felt guilty about sending one late. |

Yes, of course. When it comes to thanking people or showing appreciation in general, it's always better late than never. Just a little note with a few sentences that takes you 5 minutes to write means a lot to people. It's worth doing. |

QFE Besides, they might send you more money later on. |

Send the note even if it's late. I disagree with the phone call in place of the card/note. I'm an old fart that thinks a card shows a little more effort. You've taken the time to buy a card, write something out, get a postage stamp and put it in the mail. It's also something for them to hold on to so to speak. Making a quick call while driving on the way to the movies with your friends just isn't the same to me. BTW - after 10+ years of never getting a card or call from my neices/nephews, I stopped sending money. A little appreciation goes a long away. |

One more thing - I think you are still looking for excuses not to do it. "Oh it's too late now so I can't" |

I'd send a personal note, not a card. A card is artificial, and besides that it might cost you 5 bucks. A note is more personal, and will be more likely to be kept, as opposed to a card that they'll just toss away. This will make it more likely that they'll send you money again. |

You should get a bunch of post cards and write a nice note. If you don't those people who gave will think of you as a gold digging beeatch. By the way if you want to hear a great song about postcards, look over at youtube for Stacey Kents - Postcard Lover. I heard it about 4am on a jazz station and it knocked my socks off but you better thank those people or karmas gonna get you. |

if the amount of money they sent is too small, ask for more. |
