We thank you both: yet one but flatters us,

As well appeareth by the cause you come;

Namely, to appeal each other of high treason.

 

-Richard

There’s not really much of a sincere thank you going on here. I really dislike getting a thank you where there's really no thanks involved.  

I ordered a dozen Tennessee Rounds from Musgrave Pencil Company. When I received the package it contained a few extra samples (one pictured above) and a hand written thank you note. Now, I guess you could say they're just looking for more business, but how often do you order something and get a hand written thank you note and an extra item that says Thanks? Me? Not too often.
