SAMPLES OF CONGRATULATIONS, WISHES

1)Dear Ned,

It seems only yesterday that we both of us were schoolboys wandering along the St. Petersburg streets and making plans for our future — and now you have been accepted at Ohio State University!
I am very proud of you, Ned. A word of congratulation just doesn’t seem enough, so I am sending you a gift that I'm sure you will find useful — a book on Russian history translated into English.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Your friend,

2)Dear Dr. Smith,

It was with great pleasure that my colleagues and myself heard of your appointment to the position of...
We should like very much to offer you our hearty congratulations. May we add that, in our opinion, no one more deserves the honor than yourself?
With warmest good wishes for the future.

Dear Gordon:

Congratulations and best wishes for your retirement last week. We commend you for your 25 years of productive service.
Many of your ideas have been instituted within our company. We will suraly miss you but know that you will enjoy your leisure.
Come to see us often; we look at you as part of our family!
Respectfully,

Please consider us your friends and telephone us if we can be of any help.

2)Dear Lawrence, ,
I was just informed by our office manager of your brother's death. It is impossible to adequately express my sincere sympathy at this most difficult time. .
I had worked very closely with Mark in the office. Therefore, I feel that I have lost a very good friend as well as a fellow coworker. .
Please let me know if I can be of any help to you. .

Sincerely yours,

3)Dear Maggie,

I have just heard of your mother's death and want to tell you how very sorry I am.
Your mother was such an intelligent and good person and many people will feel as I do, that the world is a poorer place without her.
There is nothing I can say to lessen your unhappiness except that I am sure she would not want you to grieve.
You have my heartiest sympathy.
Yours very sincerely,

4)Dear Keith,

I was very sad to hear that your mother had died. Although I haven t seen you for a long time, I still remember her very well. I suppose the shock of living alone must be quite difficult but I hope you have enough strength to carry on.
I don't have a lot of experience in these matters but it seems that those left behind us must, after a certain amount of time, accept the natural events of death. We probably feel most sorry for ourselves and feel abandoned or remember bed words which we used end didn't apologize for. Perhaps we learn to value better our Mends. I'm not sure but I hope this is so.
Write to me soon and let me know how you are doing.
Look after yourself.
Your Natasha.

5)Dear Mr. Hailey,

We are deeply grieved at the news of your father's death. He was one of the best men, a fine citizen, a loyal friend, and a hearty companion. We knew him well and loved him like a brother.
Our family mourns with you.
Yours sincerely,

6)Dear Mr. Kirk,

It was with great regret that I heard of the death of your colleague Mr. Pass, and I would like to offer you my deepest sympathies in your loss.
I have always admired Mr. Pass's integrity and high standards of business conduct.
I hope it will be some consolation in your bereavement to know that those of us who had professional contact with Mr. Pass will long cherish his memory.
Sincerelyyours,
