Subject: Great presentation!
Hi Jon
I'm just writing to say well done on your presentation this morning. It was not an easy task and I'm glad it went well.
You were well prepared. The content was relevant and easy to follow. You also thought about the questions people would have. I think they were impressed! I'm sure everyone feels happier about the new system now.
If you have time, please could you listen to my presentation for next week?
See you later

Do you congratulate your colleagues? What for?
Yes, I often congratulate my colleagues. I seem that congratulating your colleagues makes the job more efficient and friendly, also, it stimulates good results.
Yes of course when it's justified because everyone needs encouragement to continuate their work.
Yes of course, I congratulate friends for their achievements no matter how small, and acknowledge their effort and hard-work. Saying kind words and doing an act of kindness simply by congratulating someone who just achieve something in life paves the way for harmonious relationship and healthy well-being.
Of course, we should congratulate our colleagues for their achievements. It encourges them to work harder and become better. It also enhances self-confidence and self-esteem.
