Dear Twyla:
Your new address on Jackson Drive is quite impressive. Yesterday’s mail brought your announcement about the practice you and your two colleagues have established.
Although I couldn’t say from personal experience, it seems to me that hanging out your own shingle takes courage, creativity, and commitment. From my associations with you, you have just those ingredients in quantities enough to be successful in whatever you choose.
I wish you a most rewarding first year and future as you build your clientele in the community.
Cordially,

Dear Kent:
I heard that you decided to leave the family business and branch out on your own. Congratulations! That takes a tremendous amount of courage.
Your reputation as an honest salesman will serve you well in the appliance business. When customers make such big purchases, they need to feel as if they can trust their salesman. You have already established that trust as well as a genuine interest in community improvement projects. I am certain that the hard work you are putting into this will pay off.
Regards,

The excitement you must be experiencing is probably overwhelming right now. Your restaurant is finally opening and you get to run the show! I know this has always been your dream, and I admire your willingness to accept such an awesome challenge.
Your renovation of the building has been incredible. You turned an old warehouse into a beautiful work of art with murals and exotic plants. Rest assured that I will be there on opening night to sample the menu.
