When you have heard good news from or about your friends, colleagues,
business partners or clients, you should send them a letter or a short note to compliment
and congratulate them on their success.
First of all, you would like to tell them the purpose of your letter.
You can state a specific achievement on which you wish to compliment the recipient.
You can also add specific details in praising the recipient’s characteristics that lead to his/her success.
Then you might end the letter with wishes. Let’s have a look at the following example:
Dear Kim,
I was not surprised at all to learn that you have finished your master’s degree
with distinctions. Your hard work and strong determination is known to all of us at IBM.
On behalf of the IBM sales team, I would like to congratulate on your outstanding achievement
and wish you all the best for the future.
Congratulations!
