Being grateful is a virtue, and sending a thank you note to your benefactor underlines your gratefulness. Here’s how you can go about composing some thoughtful thank you notes for money…
If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is ‘thank you’, it will be enough.
– Meister Eckhart
Generally, in all thank you notes you speak of the gift you have received, and express your gratitude for the favor. However, when you write thank you notes for money, mentioning the amount may not be considered modest. A more suitable way to express your gratitude to the benefactor is to let him/her know about what you are planning to use the money for. Here are some samples for your reference.

We must never skip the chance of letting the other person know about how grateful we are for his/her generosity. And one of the best ways to do so is to compose a thoughtful thank you note. Your words do not have to be flowery or loud. Genuine thoughts and a heartfelt “thank you” speak for themselves.
