Where to I get a template for thanking employees for hard work?

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Write the letter you would like to get if you had put in the extra time and
effort on such a job.

Dear Hardworking Admin,

I do apologise if I have caused you to be upset.

I do NOT apologise for directing your attention toward a defect in
Corporate Communication, and in communication generally.

Money is fine, but the most heartfelt reward an individual can receive is a
direct expression of appreciation from another human being - preferably
delivered face to face.

Imagine the impact if you received such a communication in written form
only to discover, at a later date, the original 'fill-in-the-blanks' Template!

I guess I am a bit old fashioned, but thanking people is a privilege and
pleasure that I would never delegate in any way, shape or form.

I observe a natural reaction from others to limit the comments in the
newsgroup to technical issues.

While this is perfectly appropriate (else we should lose ourselves), it
also is symptomatic of the trend for us to isolate ourselves from the
emotional context out of which arises the real living of a real life.

Again, as I stated to Pat, this is a thank you task that I was given at a
large corporation for employees putting in extra time and work. I am
disappointed in both yours and Pat's responses.

Bravo, Pat!

How very rude. You must not assume that this was something personal. A
thank you letter task was given to me to write for a bunch of employees (of
whom, I don't know) who put in extra time and effort for job completion. I
was only looking for help with uplifting words of appreciation!

There are (at least) two properties of a template: style/layout, and
content.

If you were looking for help with the former, then we are all ears. You
would most probably not be able to use any existing template, anyway,
because, as a company, you often have Corporate Identity folks who once
defined the templates for you, what font to be used, etc.

Looking for the latter, though, is very unspecific, not to say off-topic
for a forum dedicated to Microsoft Word. The _words_ you are looking for
are the same whether you use LaTeX, WordPerfect, WordPad, a telephone, etc.
