How to write a Kickstarter thank you note on facebook

Update #5 · Jun 15, 2012 · comment

I've already written 89 thank yous on facebook. At first they were off the cuff, but after about fifty I began to realize I had created a template and was filling in the blanks. By no means to I consider this a rule on etiquette, but I think I have my bases covered when it comes to getting a sincere thanks across. Thought any amateur linguists, or anyone who's ever written a million thank you notes, would appreciate the subtle humor here:

(Insert backer's name and greeting here)+(Use appropriate punctuation to convey tone and pacing)+(Say thank you in a sincere and personal way here)+(Use appropriate punctuation to convey tone and pacing)+(Reassure them the project is going well and that their support is valuable here)+(Use appropriate punctuation to convey tone and pacing)+(Close with assurance that you will bridge and further communication gap in order to inform them about the progress of the campaign, and say something lighthearted)+(Use appropriate punctuation to convey tone and pacing)

For example:

Alison! You're the best. Thanks a million for the pledge of support on Kickstarter. The book is really going to surprise you. I'll keep you updated on the campaign. Meanwhile, TGIF!
