How not to write a thank you note

Subject: Thank You



Hey, guys,



In the spirit of yesterday’s gang-bang-style interview, I’ve opted for a group thank you email. I hate crafting these follow-ups and I’m not too hot at sincere thank you notes either, but writing one email is easier than writing four. I call it the less = more theory. Raymond Carver called it minimalism. My ex-girlfriend used to call it, “I’m just not that hungry.” Really though, skimping on thank you emails gives me more time to reply to this chick I met on Mypsace who is new to the area and posts pictures on her personal webpage.


Cheers,
