I would actually pay $0 and wouldn't use it. Why? It's a logical decision: a hand-written note is, as you said, powerful and it leaves an impression. People notice. I'm in Dallas, Texas - if I send a hand-written note to anyone who knows me, they know that I live in Dallas. If the note is postmarked from San Diego, for example, it loses it's value to me as a purchaser. Also, someone inevitably will ask about my handwriting. "Wow - you have great handwriting! Where did you learn to write like that?" Then what? It's disingenuous and I'd have to fend off questions like the above. So I wouldn't buy it for any price. That said, I'm one person and that's simply one person's opinion. It doesn't invalidate your idea so don't take this the wrong way (as an insult or personal attack). It's a fun idea, but not one I can see anyone who is "serious about business" using.

Scott, appreciate the feedback. And I've gotten several pieces of feedback like yours. And, to some extent, I agree with you. I would never send a note to my grandmother trying to deceive her. Nor will I send these to my family. But... If I interview with a dozen people over a weekend. I might come out of each interview, and bang out a thank you note on the spot - while the conversation is fresh in my mind. Or... If I meet with a dozen people at a company I'm selling my product to, I might follow up with individual notes thanking them for their time. This will never replace the thank you notes you already send - it will simply enable you to send more thank you notes to people who are still deserving. Again. thanks for the feedback.
