Congratulations Letter
10/19/2017
Good news can be about anything be it at home or place of work – marriage, childbirth, first job, promotion, etc. Sharing any of this is exhilarating and calls for celebration.
A Congratulations Letter is one such letter that acknowledges the great news and sends with it loads of wishes and blessings for the recipient. This letter should be sent as soon as the writer learns about the great news that has been shared with her/him. The tone of the letter should be as exciting as the news is. Adjectives such as stimulated, excited, thrilled, elated should be used in the letter. It should be so worded that it ends up bringing a big smile on the face of the recipient.
An official Congratulations Letter should be brief and to the point. A personal Congratulations Letter however can be slightly longer to give that personal touch. The letter should always talk about the news against which the wishes are being sent. It should sound as if the writer is congratulating the recipient personally. A personal Congratulations Letter should preferably be hand written to give it the personal effect.
