Sample Congressional Thank You Letters
Sample Congressional Thank You Letters
Following up after your meetings with Senate and House offices is a critical
next step in forming a good, working relationship with your members of
Congress and their staff. You will find three sample emails below, created for
various purposes. We encourage you to personalize them with issues that are
important to you and with specific facts about your local situation.
We suggest that you send a thank you email promptly after returning home. If
you receive a business card from the staffer, you can write to him/her at the
email address on the card. You can look up contact information for your
Senator or Representative in our Advocacy and Action Center.
Sample #1
Send if you met directly with a member of Congress

funding for NIH, economic impacts of research funding as illustrated in your

[You can include some talking points if you wish, highlighting information from
the state or district briefs.]
[If you promised to follow up with any other information, include it here.]
I look forward to continuing this relationship and to future meetings with both
