Luckily, there's a way to automate the process (and maybe even prevent early carpal tunnel syndrome from kicking in) in Gmail, especially if you tend to send the same redundant email all day, every day.
There's a feature in Gmail called "Canned Responses" that lets you create email templates that you can reuse later, so you're not writing things like thank you letters over and over. And, it's free!
Turning on Canned Responses couldn't be simpler:
1. Click the gear icon in the upper right corner of your Gmail account:

Now we're going to create a new template. In the new message window, click on the down arrow in the lower right corner:

Finally, after you've written out your template email, click on the down arrow again, then "Canned responses" and select the template name from earlier before to save it:

Maybe use all the saved time to meditate or stand up (Because sitting all day will kill you faster!). And you can make as many canned responses as you want for different responses.
It may not seem faster at first, but trust me, all of the minutes do add up over time.
