I would use a mailmerge in Word.

Create your thank you note in Word and populate it from Excel.

Assuming you are using Word for the mailmerge and Excel for the source see
these sites for help.

If you want to skip Word and just use Excel see John Walkenbach's site.

But going through Word is much easier IMO.
