Dear 3M and the Creator of Post-its,

First of all, thank you.

I'm sure you know that your sticky notes have been successful. This year is marks thirty-six since their creation, so you must know that you have created something wonderful. People continue to buy them because they are an important addition to their everyday lives.

Sticky notes have so many uses. They can be used for notes and lists, both for remembering tasks, and the need for writing things down on a piece of paper without needing to use tape. Businesses use them for lists and notes to coworkers as well.

I've written so many notes on the square pad that comes in various sizes and shades: greens, white, blue, orange, teal, purple, and of course, the classic yellow. They've helped me leave messages for my roommates and my family. These sticky notes have helped me to remember events and appointments. I've made countless lists using them, whether it be for homework assignments, or cleaning my apartment.

Variations of the product have also become more popular in recent years. As an English major, I find myself using flags almost as often as I use the sticky notes. The flags help mark certain pages in books to enable me to find a helpful page quickly. These flag labels are awesome.

Your creation, and the product lines that stemmed from the original idea have continued to help me through school, previously in my four years of high school, and currently in my college career.

I will continue to use them because they help me achieve many things, from the simplest tasks to difficult ones.

Sincerely,

A girl who would forget everything and accomplish next to nothing without Post-its
