Dear Yusuf,
Greetings
Introduction
Hello !
How are you dude ? I just heard that you have received a new job. I couldn’t be happier for
your congratulations. I know it is not easy to get a job in this troubled job market. it is particulary
difficult for a fresh graduate with hardly any work experience, I really appreciate the resourcefullness
you showed in your job search. Although I still haven’t been able to find a job, your success has
inspired me to try harder.
I’m quite sure that your knowledge of computers and artistic skill will make you a great
graphics designer. I expect to hear great news coming from your direction in the next year.
Best wishes for success.
Closure

Sincerely, Closing
