Dear Frank:

Mark Hammond has told me of your designation as the outstanding engineering graduate of Tulane University! Congratulations!

I know this kind of recognition must make you feel good, but it is a most worthwhile “thank you” on the part of the designating university for all your accomplishments, not the least of which is building a major company in a tough industry.

Cordially,

Dear Carey:

I received word last week you have been named “Outstanding Engineer” for Bell-Plainview. That honor has been given to some outstanding talent in the past, many of the recipients having gone on to the ranks of senior management where all of us in the industry can benefit from their expertise and insights.

Congratulations on having built that kind of reputation for yourself so early in your career. I understand your project team has been extremely productive, as well as creative. Under less-than-desirable circumstances, you have undertaken and completed both the Fortenberry and Johnson City projects to many accolades from the two clients.

I couldn’t be happier about your selection for this award. My best.

Sincerely,
[/tab]

Dear Peter:

I read with great excitement the Holden article about your significant achievement. Please accept my heartiest congrats on the award. I know you and your family are justly proud, as you should be, to be included in such an exclusive group. Imagine, one of 11 individuals out of the whole Kaiser family of 22,000 employees! My hat’s off to you.

I’ve bragged all over our office here in Dallas that I’m on first-name terms with a company celebrity. (The closest I’ve ever been to the CEO was five feet in front of my TV!)

You know, I’m really not surprised the company finally recognized your contribution. I can remember when you spent so much time on the FAX project that it seemed you were out of town more than you were home. I know it was tough on your family being without you so much, and I just hope this honor helps all of you as a family unit.

Give my warmest regards to Mary, and God bless.

Cordially,
