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

Yes, I frequently congratulate my colleagues and friends who achieve on something important for them. For instance, graduation or job promotion. Here is the example:
Dear Rysta,
I am just writing to say well done on your job promotion last week. I’ve heard your presentation impressed every board of director. I think you really deserve this.
Your can convey your ideas smoothly in front of them and you answered their questions precisely. I have no doubt that you will make great impact to our company based on your long journey in risk division.
Since you’ll be very busy in the upcoming week, do you have some time to have a cup of coffee tomorrow morning? I need your guide to continue your last task in your previous division.
Thank you
