Congratulations
Congratulations are extended on all kinds of occasions-when someone receives an award, a promotion, or some other honor; when someone wins an election or receives an appointment; when someone celebrates a wedding, an anniversary, the birth of a child, or a retirement. Keep your employer informed of all such occasions and assist in drafting congratulatory massage whenever you can. The letter of congratulations should be enthusiastic and suited to the event. It can mention the common bond between the writer and the reader. No negative note or side issue should intrude to mar the recipient’s pleasure or suggest that the writer is merely using the happy occasion as an entering wedge for another matter. Letters of appreciation in reply to letters of congratulations are a must. Be sure your boss does not overlook this obligation. Printed cards are no substitute.

- Mention the specific reasons for the congratulations.
- Recall some pleasant event pertaining to it, if appropriate.
- Mention some of the recipient’s accomplishments or personal characteristics, if pertinent.
- If you are not known to the recipient, mention the reasons for your interest.
- Refer specifically to some comment in the letter of congratulations to which you are replying.
- Express appreciation for any offer of assistance or moral support.
- Keep letters brief but friendly.
Example : Congratulation On Anniversary
Dear Ruth:
We are delighted to welcome you into the Twenty-Five-Year Club and hope that you will be our guest at the annual banquet at the Hilton on Friday evening, September 18.
Twenty-five years represents a big portion of any lifetime-a person’s or a company’s. I vividly recall my own early days with Thompson & Brooder onyx eighteen years ago and the tremendous help and encouragement a certain executive secretary gave that young, rather over whelmed sales manager!
As you celebrate your anniversary on September 18, I know you will count all of us your friends and admirers. My sincere congratulations and best wishes for many more rewarding years with T&B!
Cordially,
Martin B. Siegler
President
