（1）Handwritten thank-you letters are such a simple way of making other people feel good.However, it is strange that so few people write them anymore. At work, a thank-you letter to employees is incredibly effective. It costs little and has no side effects. The effort involved in writing letters is very low. However, the pleasure on receiving them__________. This makes them an excellent way to reward and motivate staff.

（2）Doug Conant, chief executive of Campbell’s Soup Company since 2001, knows the power of thank-you letters. In a recent blog for the Harvard Business Review, he said that every day he works with an assistant, combing the company for people deserving thank. He then writes them a thank-you letter. Over the past 10 years he has sent 30,000 thank-you letters to his employees-more than 10 each day. Readers of the blog seem impressed：“Doug, What an inspiring post！Positive, genuine response is uplifting（令人开心的）…”writes one blogger.

（3）But if these letters are so uplifting, why don’t more chief executives write them? There seems to be three reasons. Firstly, chief executives running companies think their own work is more valuable than that of others. Since no one ever writes them thank-you letters they don’t write any themselves. Secondly, they aren’t close enough to the business to know who deserves thanks. Thirdly, they have forgotten the strange human truth that almost everyone would do almost anything in return for a simple pat on the back.
