Appreciation letter writing

-

 An appreciation letter is a professional note written to business contacts that demonstrates your gratitude.

There are likely many times in your life when it is appropriate to write a letter of appreciation. You might receive a gift, advice, or professional connections from a person in your personal or professional life. Regardless of what favour you are showing gratitude for, an appreciation letter can make a positive impact on someone you know.


How To Write An Appreciation Letter.

* Be prompt

An appreciation letter should be written and delivered within three days after the event. Being prompt helps you make a good impression and conveys the sincerity of your message.


* Write a greeting

Professional letters to business contacts, potential employers or people you do not know well should include a title in the greeting, such as “Mr" or "Ms”. Personal letters to someone close to you tend to call for more personal greetings using the recipient's first name.


* Express the letter's purpose

Your letter should state in a simple and concise manner the reason for your gratitude.


* Be specific

Specify examples of why you are grateful by mentioning a detail or two about what you enjoyed or are thankful for. Taking the time to personalize your letter in this way will convey your sincerity. Be sure to keep it concise and impactful.


*Conclude and sign

Restate your thanks and the impact their input has had on you. Choose an appropriate closing and sign your name at the bottom of the letter. The most common closing for professional letters is “Sincerely,” but other options include “Respectfully,” “Best Regards,” and other similar phrases.

He used the small broom hurriedly and carelessly, and the dust, after rising in a cloud above his head settled down again on the steps.  As Nathu was banging his pan against a dustbin, Sitaram, the washerman’s son, passed by. Sitaram was on his delivery round. He had a bundle of freshly pressed clothes balanced on his head. ‘Don’t raise such dust!’ he called out to Nathu. ‘Are you annoyed because they are still refusing to pay you an extra two rupees a month?’ ‘I don’t wish to talk about it,’ complained the sweeper-boy. ‘I haven’t even received my regular pay.  And this is the twentieth of the month. Who would think a bank would hold up a poor man’s salary? As soon as I get my money, I’m off! Not another week I work in this place.’ And Nathu banged the pan against the dustbin several times, just to emphasize hi...
