Compliment Letters

Compliment letters are letters written to commend someone for his/her good deeds. The objective of such letters is to praise someone for his/her hard work or achievement. Though compliment letters are considered a professional gesture in the corporate world, you can use them in your personal life to appreciate your loved ones for their achievements. Compliment letters can be used in instances such as complimenting an employee for a job well done, complimenting the organizing committee for an excellent event, or complimenting someone for winning an award. They can also be used to compliment a colleague for delivering a good orientation or sales speech.

When writing compliment letters, make sure to mention the name of the person you are complimenting in the letter stating how valuable this person is. If you are complimenting an employee's productivity, appreciate his/her efforts to achieve such high standard. Be sincere and genuine when talking about someone's achievements. Mention the reason why you are complimenting this person. Be polite and maintain a friendly tone throughout the letter. Make sure that the words in the letter make the other person feel special and appreciated. End the letter by praising this person again for his/her contributions.

Letters to Professionals

Letters to professionals are letters sent to people who are engaged and qualified in a profession. The recipients of such letters could be professionals in business and administration, health, information and communication technology, legal issues, science and engineering, teaching, etc. There are many occasions where you may want to write to a professional. For instance, to obtain information, to apply for a job or academic program, to raise a complaint, or just to express your opinion in a coherent manner. In all scenarios, letters to professionals must be well-written and correctly formatted.

When writing to any professional, your letter needs to be focused and concise, so that your point is made clearly, definitively, and politely. State the purpose of your letter in the beginning without veering from the subject. Use a polite and respectful tone even if you are complaining; avoid slang or jargon and any other informal language. Adhere to the standard conventions and format of good formal letter writing and present your letter attractively. Reread your letter to find spots that need grammar and punctuation correction and to make sure that the recipient is addressed properly. Close the letter with your full, formal name and signature.
