Who is the person you would most like to write a thank you letter to? Is it a stranger who helped you in your hour of need? Or the doctor who saved your life? Perhaps it is a friend who has been there for you through good times and bad; a family member you have loved and lost; or a child who has helped you to see a different perspective on things. It might be a teacher who inspired you, or a colleague who has helped you achieve your dreams.
