Letter of Appreciation

The following guidelines will help you come up with an effective letter of appreciation:

• Write a note or letter of appreciation as soon as possible.
• Mention the "why" in specific detail. The reader likes to know you learned of each specific effort and accomplishment on your behalf.

• Be warm, informal, and sincere.

If you are giving an award or bonus:
