Dear Jack,
Just a quick congratulatory note to let you know how proud I am of ZipTech's recent success. I know it was the result of lots of hard work. You should be proud of yourself and your staff.
I knew when you left last year that great things were in store for you, though I must admit I didn't know they'd come this quickly. Wow! Sales of $2 million and BizTimes' "Best New Business of the Year" award?! That was more than any of us here could have imagined.
I remember when you started as an intern five years ago. Time flies, doesn't it? I knew from the moment we met that you had the talent and ambition to succeed with your own company. Now that you've had a taste of it, don't rest on your laurels. I don't have to worry; I'm sure you won't.
It would be great to get together again when you have time. I'll treat you to lunch. I know it's a busy time of year. Please give me a call when you have time. I look forward to it.
Best,
Dennis
