SAMPLE: Thank you for IEE

I always send thank you notes whenever I can. Although the people at the district may or may not take this seriously, it does paint me as a person who is reasonable, understands appropriate behavior, and is gracious. This is important should I later have to go to court. It is a paper trail of kindness and decorum which would make it difficult for the district to portray me as difficult and unreasonable as they are likely to do given any opportunity.
