Dear Ms. Stein:
I received the notice of your anniversary date in last week’s mail. Congratulations on your exceptional growth during the last 10 years.
As one of the old-timers in the community, I can remember when you began operations here in Belfast. You were in a 20’ trailer, with fewer than 12 members enrolled. As I understand it, your membership now exceeds 150,000 and is increasing by an average of 100 each week. Your living-donor program and fund drive stand out as two of your most noteworthy accomplishments during the last few years. In summary, you have grown from a small-town service to national recognition.
All of these successes, I’m sure, are due largely to the fine employees working continuously to make sure the membership’s needs are met — almost before the members themselves even perceive a need.
I’m proud to be associated with such a fine organization. You richly deserve such success and recognition.
Sincerely,
[/tab]

Dear Bruce:
Congratulations on Ibsen Motor Plaza’s 15th anniversary! I was amazed to realize that I had been doing business with your rental company for such a long time now.
As a travel agent, the service you supply reflects on the service I provide. In 15 years, I don’t think I have received even one complaint concerning the quality of your staff or vehicles you rent.
The best thing about Ibsen Motor Plaza, however, has been the staff’s willingness to go that extra mile the few times renters have actually had serious car trouble. I still remember Mr. Morales ( a major client) telling me how Ramona drove another rental car out to where his car had broken down, then stayed with the disabled vehicle until the wrecker arrived so he could make it to an important business meeting. It is precisely these practices which distinguish you from the other rental companies.
Over these past 15 years I have never offered a contract to another car rental agency, and I doubt I ever will.
Yours truly,

Dear Heather:
I received the invitation to your fifth anniversary celebration in the mail this morning, and I just want to congratulate you.
Five years ago, people had their doubts. The conversation in the cafe usually ran, “Fitness Center? What we would do with a Fitness Center around here?” Well, you have since shown everybody just what you could do “around here.” I am especially impressed by the free fitness and safety lectures you provide at the local schools; it’s a wonderful community service.
And, incidentally, this little fitness equipment manufacturer the next town over appreciates your loyalty over the past five years. We are proud to know that all of your equipment has been supplied and maintained by our company.
I look forward to attending your celebration. I would like to suggest a toast (with carrot juice, I promise) ahead of time: may our next five years of working together be as productive and amiable as the last five have been.
Cordially,
[/tab]

Dear Della and Steve:
I can hardly believe that The Greatest Guitar Shop Ever is about to celebrate 15 years in business. Congratulations are in order.
Over the years, your music store has gained statewide recognition. We have received calls at the plant from first time guitar owners telling us how much they appreciated Sikar Guitars–it seems Della and Steve had spent the better part of the afternoon explaining the merits of our instruments, and they wanted to compliment us on our craftsmanship.
Now, recommending our product is not why you have become legendary in the state (well, maybe it helps a little); it’s that spending the better part of an afternoon with a customer that does it. We are proud to know that you have such respect for Sikar guitars.
We look forward to another 15 years of hearing great things from The Greatest Guitar Shop Ever customers.
Regards,

Dear Kayla,
Congratulations on celebrating the anniversary of your first year in the landscape design business! Dreamscapes has had a phenomenal year.
We have seen your design work all over the city. Your ability to capitalize on what many people would consider defects in the terrain have truly turned the yards you do into works of art. One favorite of almost all of the workers here at Arboretum Nursery is the night blooming garden at the Tarillo Estate. It is absolutely breathtaking.
We are proud to be a part of the artistry you create. We hope that you will always find the plants, flowers, trees, and shrubs offered here worthy of inclusion in your work.
We look forward to working with you on upcoming projects.
Sincerely,
[/tab]

Dear Mr. McMurdo:
Congratulations on the 25th anniversary of The Furniture Craftsman.
It was because of you and The Furniture Craftsman that we have enjoyed such success creating custom-made furniture. We can still remember you driving all the way out to Kent at our request to view the furniture we were building. Your generous recommendations regarding the quality of our work resulted in almost more orders then we could handle. We are proud to be represented at such a fine store.
May you continue to experience much success at The Furniture Craftsman. We are grateful to be affiliated with such a fine business.
Regards,

Dear Carol Davies & the Staff of Freeport Preschool:
Congratulations on seven years of providing the finest preschool education in the area.
It hardly seems that long since you started out, with so many expectations of what preschool education should be. Learning for Life Educational Programs was proud to be with you at the beginning. In light of your accomplishments, we are prouder still to be an integral part of your curriculum today.
We feel good knowing our educational programs are being used at what has been ranked the number one preschool in the state for the past four years in a row. It’s people like you who make our educational programs succeed.
We look forward to helping you continue to provide excellence in preschool education.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Melrose:
We would like to congratulate you on your 16th anniversary. We hope you enjoy the bottle of wine we have been saving especially for this occasion.
Ten years ago, your store took a chance and began to act as a distributor for our vineyard. We were so grateful for the exposure we would have been happy to be tucked away in the back corner of your store. Instead, you and your staff arranged our wine with care at the front of the store and began enthusiastically promoting our locally-made vintages.
While we have expanded our distribution in recent years, no re-seller will ever be quite as special as Melrose Wine & Spirits. We are grateful for the generosity you have shown us and look forward to working with you in the years to come.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Kelvin:
Our company newsletter contained the information that you are celebrating eight years in the software business. We would like to congratulate on this accomplishment.
As software representatives, we have seen companies come and go. We knew, however, that would not be the case with the Kelvin & Stout Company. The innovations you have pioneered as well as the close attention you paid to consumers’ comments and suggestions has made you one of the premier software companies of the decade and the most successful of all the companies we represent. Your reputation for excellence is well deserved.
We are proud to offer your software lines to the retail market and hope to continue to do so.
Sincerely,
[/tab]

Dear Mr. Maxwell:
Let’s celebrate! It’s been 10 years since you first selected Atomo-Vision as your exclusive supplier for your promotional needs. Hard to believe it has been a full decade since we produced your first promotional materials.
Since that time, our relationship has proved both mutually beneficial and profitable. I can remember a time when our shipments to your company took up barely two or three boxes. Nowadays they are among the largest we process.
As a sign of our appreciation we’re discounting your next purchase by 25 percent. It’s just our way of saying thanks for the last 10 years and here’s to 10 more.
Sincerely,
[/tab]
