The following is a sample letter of Appreciation upon presentation of award. Just to recap, the guidelines for an effective letter of appreciation are:
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.
Express any positive feedback, results, or comments you received from others about the individual’s or group’s work during your absence.
Be warm, informal, and sincere.
If you are giving an award or bonus:
State what the award or bonus is.
Elaborate specifically on what the person has done to earn the award or praise.
Express what the award or bonus means in symbolic terms.
Dear Sara:
Congratulations employee of the month! The plaque and bonus are tokens of our appreciation for your exemplary work.
I also want to extend my personal congratulations. Your hard work and positive attitude in the midst of this month’s hiring crunch kept us all going. Volunteering to pitch in on Saturday to help us catch up is just one example of your willingness to go the extra mile.
You are a credit to our company.
Yours Truly,
