Am I obligated to send thank you notes to people who send notes/cards/letters of congratulations for an award I received?

Congratulations on winning this award! Volunteering is a very generous act, and I commend you on winning the award. To answer your question, no, you are not obligated to send thank you notes.

However, I highly recommend sending one to each of your friends, since they have taken the time to personally congratulate you. You can, if you like, send on the the senator and congressmen, but they don't expect it. I would definitely avoid sending any encouragement or personal note to the creepy people, URL1 main priority would be to thank friends and families for their kind words.

I hope this helps!

Sending thank you notes is not obligatory, but it's always appreciated. It's a sign of gratefulness and gratitude. A thank you note is always in good taste.

You are not obligated to send thank you notes esp. To the people you don't know very well. But to your friends, I guess it's up to you to thank them or not but I personally think that you should send them thank you notes because they're happy for you and they're your friends.

If they are too many and you don't have much time to send them one by one then I think posting thank you notes to social networking sites (shoutouts) is a good way, too.

I have no training in ethics, but my gut feeling is that you are not obligated to send a thank you note in response to a letter of congratulations. The people who sent notes were commending you on a job well done. Thank you notes are traditionally given in response to gifts, so that the gift giver knows that you appreciated the gift.

If you send a thank you note in response to a note someone else sent you, then they might wonder if they have to send you a thank you note in response to your thank you note... It could go on forever.

Creepy people are out of the question, lol. I would write the lawmakers, but I would just call my friends on the phone, unless they're like not really close friends, like friends of your mom that you don't really talk to. Now is it proper to send a thank you note in this occasion?

Of course, definitely for people you don't know very well, because it would feel weird to call them. For close friends, the situation is a good reason to call them, especially if you haven't seen or spoken with them in a long time.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
