ビジネスレターの書き方

おめでとうは、congratulations (複数形）という表現が最も一般的だが、２つ目の例文のように 単数形で Please accept my congratulation on ... のような使い方をすることもある。

昇進は promotion to ... というフレーズで良いだろうが、be promoted to ... という形でも良いだろう。また、２つ目の例文のように it is with pleasure や it is a pleasure などでスタートする文章で お祝いの言葉を述べるスタイルも良く見かける。さらに、please accept my (our) best wishes for your success というフレーズも覚えておくと便利でしょう。

Dear ... Congratulations on your recent promotion to General Manager. I know how hard you have worked to earn the recognition you presently enjoy at ABC Corporation. Please accept our best wishes for your success in your new position.
