What makes a good letter?

[Valerie]

Does anyone know if there is a guide to writing a good letter (to maximize friendship points/ get good gifts in return?)

I've heard writing "thank you" increases the changes of getting a gift. I always write "おりがとうございます!" but sometimes I only hear back from one or two villagers and they don't always give me presents. I always mail them a present too which helps; usually fruit or unwanted shirts and furniture.

For the letter badge, your letters must be at least 10 characters long.

Edit: I looked at that guide and it says for a short letter (one line long), you get fruit and clothes, but my one line letters in New Leaf (that guide is for WW) have gotten me furniture. It's still a helpful guide.

Yeah, I've had trouble getting letters back...
I've tried:
ふるいけや
かわずとびこむ
みずのおと

With about as much luck as you it seems.

Edit: おりがと or ありがと？

ありがと

"お" is an O. There should also be a U "う" on the end making it ありがとう.

Remember to use the small circle that's the period mark in Japanese. I write letters whenever I can. A little bit of English is okay as the villagers use some too.

I usually write このふく きてください. Which means "please wear this shirt."
