Dear [recipient's name]:
I just want to take a moment to tell you that with Teachers' Day coming up, I appreciate all the countless ways you serve the students you teach. You work harder than anyone I've ever known, constantly going the extra mile, and are always so upbeat about everything you do. Also, you truly serve your colleagues, including me. It is most definitely a pleasure to know you.
To express my thanks on this Teachers' Day, I am enclosing a gift certificate for you-you deserve to treat yourself a little.
I hope you have a wonderful Teachers' Day!
Sincerely,
[Signature]
