Agreed. Send her what you plan to write in an e-mail, but instruct her
NOT to send it on your behalf. Thank-you letters are always best
delivered on paper by post. There's a certain classiness to it. Some
say it also helps to type them while smiling and while raising your
pinky (for that added classiness), but YMMV. ;-)
Good luck!
