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
Sue

I think is very important to congratulate a colleague every time they achieve a goal because that way you can build trust and a good mood in your team. Besides, everybody wants to receive some recognition after finishing a hard-working task.

Yes, I usually do that when they achive company's goals and personal's goals or when they do such a nice and good work, etc. I like to do that because people can feel good and try their best the next time too.

I try to congratulate my colleagues as often as impossible. In my opinion it is important to appreciate others work and effort. Then your workmates are in better mood, become more confident and do their work better. Due to I work at school I pay other teachers compliments on an interesting lesson, on their students' good results, on entering and winning students' competitions.

I think when we work in a team is very important to congratulate our colleagues when they work well because in this way every person can feel appreciated and work hard to be better every day more and more.

When I was a student, we usually checked and helped each other with the various student jobs we received. Then I could write feedback to my classmates.

I'm a student so instead of congratulate collegues, I'm really proud of my friends when they done the good work.

I am writing to congratulate on your fabulous presentation today.
It was a great presentation worth attending. We now know a lot more regarding Rheumatoid arthritis including the latest guidelines. In addition to this, you were well-prepared for the questions which was impressive.
Could you help me with my presentation next week if you have time.
Best regards,
Bee
