I now begin the journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead.
Thank you, my friends. May God always bless you.
Sincerely,
Ronald Reagan
Bonus: The Complete Opposite
Say you’re the drummer for a band and someone writes a bad review of your latest tour. What do you do? If you are in fact Roger Taylor, the drummer for Queen, you write a letter on an airline motion-sickness bag and send it to the editor of Rolling Stone. From 1981:
Your peculiar 1970-time-warp attitude, coupled with an innate, congenital miscomprehension of rock & roll, continues to fascinate and annoy. Thank you, oh thank you, for the pseudopolitical slant and personal dishonesty that you continue to peddle in your outdated, opinionated, down-home rag.
Thanks also for the finely tuned musical assessment of my group from our sound check! Grow up. You invented the bitterness. I pity you. You suck. You are boring and you try to infect us.
Awaiting your charming review of my current album in about eight months!
ROGER TAYLOR

Amazing...Thanks
great collection! all of us get ample of opportunity to thank people around for small/big reasons... Let's be thankful for everything we have - people, material, gifts and so on..... we must thank God for each breath that keeps us alive!
No doubt thanks giving is a powerful tool for engagement with others ; It makes u submissive in front of others despite their status .
The human race is in fact non-aligned to the world of emptiness as exhibited by sincere feelings of the rich and famous. Respect and pride blend the bond of happiness.
Thank you for this :-)
Gave me a great idea! I'm going to write thank you notes to people i know....
Thanks for a nice share you have given to us with such a
large collection of information. Great work you have done by sharing them to
all. Simply superb.
This was an inspiration. I am in favor of expressing gratitude.
The letters are worth reading. In normal course this would not have been possible to share with so many at a strech buts its the advance technology that has made it possible. Thanks to the founder who devloped this format.
Ronald Reagan's brings tears ... what an eloquent man, and a wonderful wife. God bless his family.
I have written thank you notes my whole life, and I do know the power of a simple thank you. And to see that even "famous" people do the same, is wonderful. Hopefully more people will do the same.
