Welcome to letter writing category, many of us must on one way or the other written letter and if not you would be told to write one it's often requested by tutors in schools, exams [internal and external] or maybe writing a letter to seek for a job, writing a love and romantic letter, writing a letter for leaving school or being absent in an organization etc. It's no doubt that many people in the world right now can't write a good letter especially official ones, we are not mocking you as we are here to help, after studying and understanding this post, you will now begin to write good and better letters there's no shame in this, I myself don't know how to write letters till after reading and learn guidelines on how to. Before we continue I want you to know and agree with me that there are several types of letters which we happen to write for ; we have
◾Letter of Complaint
◾Letter of Apreciation
◾Letter of recommendation
◾Letter of love / Romantic letter
◾Letter of forgiveness and many more like that.
But today, I would be talking about "LETTER OF APPRECIATION", I believe we all know what a letter is, a letter is a written words of the alphabets or printed communication from someone or organization to another person or organization and sometimes longer and much more than a note. So having know the meaning of a letter let's look at what appreciation means. Appreciation from the word appreciate means a fair gratitude or estimate of merit, worth, kindness, happiness, weight, or recognition of excellence about something gotten from someone or group of people.
Now we know we know the meaning of both words "LETTER and APPRECIATION" now what's a letter of appreciation, deduced from the two definitions, its simply a written or printed document aiming at thanking, expressing great acknowledgement and gratitude to a person or company.
HOW TO WRITE LETTER OF APPRECIATION
To write a letter of appreciation, first get to know who you are writing to and if it should be written on a paper or printed. After deciding that, the next thing is open the page or a clean paper of where you want to write this letter and at the upper left of the paper or computer, write the correct address of your place, make sure it's precisely where you stay so the reader might know the location where the letter is from, after your address, since it's just an appreciation letter, you don't need anything else like adding the address of the person you are writing to as it's a friendly letter just to appreciate him/her but if need be you can write the receiver's address by the right corner of the paper just below yours but give 2 - 3 lines spacing for that and now after writing the receiver's address give another 3 line spacing and write how you would like the person to be addressed like "Dear Sir/ma" always recommended after writing that now give a paragraph and title your heading as Letter of appreciation and now begin how you will want to thank and appreciate the person you are writing to ensure to always start with greetings and ask how they are doing. When done writing do well to add thanks sincerely or thank faithfully and beneath it your first name or both names [Including surname]. For example here's mine 👇
