Tips for writing a “get well” note

When you send a gift to someone, the note that accompanies it can help to clearly characterize your exact sentiment. The note might impart a simple, warm greeting,  a deep, heartfelt message or anything in between. Before you sit down to pen your note, it often helps to have a little inspiration, and that’s where we hope to help with the following tips to help you write the perfect get-well note.

People of Note
With all the people in our lives, we may find ourselves writing to any number of different types of folks, including family members, friends and associates, co-workers and business colleagues, employees or employers, family members of employees or employers, neighbors, fellow church members, or community or civic leaders

It’s All in the Wrist
There are many ways to express your thoughts. Here are a few angles:

• Express your regret that the person is ill or injured.
• Communicate your sincere concern and reassure the reader of your support.
• Indicate your hope and assurance that the person will get well soon.
• If desired, you could express your sincere appreciation to the person for being a good friend, trusted colleague, kind neighbor, positive role model, or the like.
• If appropriate, mention that the person is missed. You might also mention specific things you miss about the person, such as his/her warm sense of humor or his/her habit of bringing office treats to weekly meetings.
• If writing to a child, be upbeat and positive. Don’t include thoughts that might cause the child undue concern, and don’t dwell on the illness or disease.

And That’s Not All
Once you’ve got your angle down, there are a few other things you might consider before penning your note, such as:

• Be positive.
• If your note is accompanied by a gift, such as a box of our sweets, briefly mention the gift.
• Some folks may be cheered by humorous anecdotes or good news.
• Some folks may be warmed by the mention of being in your thoughts and prayers.
• At the close of your note, you might reiterate your hope that the reader will have a speedy recovery.
• Be sure to write and send your note in a timely manner. Don’t procrastinate!
