Business internal correspondence letter of congratulation to staff

Every so often, praise is deserved. This is where you can give recognition for hard work and achievement. Whether it's a promotion, or just good work, you can always improve staff morale with some positive feedback.

The basic letter is simple enough, but it should be personalized. The letter should use your own personal style, to show that it's a real letter from you to the staff member, not another business form.

The letter format

Use a business letterhead, with a file reference to the staff member's personal file, and an original signature.

Example:

Addressee

File HR 1294
Contact

Dear… First name of staff member
