Join me on my journey to Thank You
Letters are Better! The Art of Thank You reveals a best-kept secret: a well-crafted piece of snail mail helps you make friends, open doors, and serves as a rainmaker to attract money. The book, a combination of personal stories and techniques, takes the pain and mystery out of writing Thank You notes. Its approach will elevate you from the crowd when it counts.
Erica Gerard Di Bona…
…generates one thousand letters a year with an impressive speed of 110 words per minute (on a typewriter). She may very well be the United States Postal Service’s consumer of the year.
A former producer in network news, kids’ game shows, The Playboy Channel, and documentaries, she has never let a single opportunity for a professiona Thank You slide and has often received letters and messages back from such notables as Connie Chung, Norman Lear, and Henry Winkler. Currently a fundraising consultant for UC Santa Cruz and serving on the Board of Trustees for the Smithsonian Regional Council and formerly the Rhode Island School of Design, her unique letters open doors and attract donors.
People frame Erica’s snail mail, and she has left her influence on the power of the Thank You with high school and college students, development executives, realtors, dentists, and grateful grandparents.
Erica is a proud University of California, Santa Cruz Banana Slug and a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles. She lives in Los Angeles with her television producer husband, artistic daughter, and seven typewriters.
