Dear Dwayne:

This month marks your 20th year with United Carolton–20 years of hard work and commitment to keeping our customers happy.

To commemorate your long-term service, we are shipping to your home a painting of the local landscape by artist Harold Pitone. We hope that every time you, your family, and your friends look at the painting, you will think fondly of your years spent here together, and that your work life will be a big part of that sense of contentment.

This gift represents only a small sense of the gratitude we feel for your loyalty through the years. You have contributed greatly to our customer service department, keeping our records up-to-date, handling the phone so capably, and coordinating our work schedules so customer repairs are completed on time and as promised.

You are United Carolton to the customer. Your work has kept us in business these many years, and we hope to have you with us for many more.

Sincerely,
[/tab]

Dear Jessica:

I have been looking forward to today all year. June 12 marks your 15th year with Vendler Industries. We want to offer our congratulations and thanks for your dedication to the company.

I can still remember when you joined us as a wide-eyed intern. Even then you had the tenacity to see projects through to the end. Over the years you have also developed into one of the most knowledgeable and respected engineers in company.

The example you set for our younger employees raises the standards of our work. In fact, your proposal on the Foltzberg project is still required reading for all our junior engineers. You started your career with Vendler Industries and we hope you will finish it here.

Will you and your family join us at Gershwin’s Restaurant for a reception in your honor next Friday at 7:00 p.m.? The entire engineering staff wants an opportunity to congratulate you.

Sincerely,
[/tab]

Dear Stanley:

Today is the one year anniversary of your employment at Reiger Foods. We want to let you know how much we appreciate your hard work this year. The fact that you regularly stay after 5:00 without complaint to complete pressing projects has not gone unnoticed. Your dedication is exemplary.

To express our gratitude for your contributions, we have enclosed two tickets to the Gladiators game next week. I know what a big fan you are.

Dear Dora:

It might seem like just another day at the office, but, in fact, today is a red letter day. Five years ago today you began working for Quigley Laboratories. Barry Logan, Ginny Thomas, and I would like to take you out to lunch to celebrate.

In your five years with us you have led some of our most successful research initiatives. The advances we made with Prodexa and Viradeem were largely due to your contributions. Your work on the Halcon 2000 is still the stuff of legend around the halls of Quigley Laboratories.

Thank you for giving us your leadership and expertise these last five years. We look forward to many more.

Sincerely,

Dear Noah:

You are invited to a party at Roma Garden, March 22 at 7:00 p.m. We hope you can make it; you’re the guest of honor. We want to celebrate your 10th anniversary with Book Nook.

As we look back on your years with us we can’t help but think of you as a pioneer. When you developed the Children’s Story Hour program eight years ago, we were the only bookstore in town to target children’s sales. Since then nearly every bookstore in the city has followed your lead.

Perhaps your biggest contribution has been to lead the initiative to get Book Nook on-line. You proceeded with that project in the face of a lot of early skepticism, and we are the better for your perseverance. On-line sale now make up 15 percent of our gross sales.

When you first came to us, we saw you as a radical. Now we prefer to think of you as a visionary. Thank you for all you’ve done for Book Nook. Your years ahead with us look just as bright.

Sincerely,
[/tab]
