Dear Sir/Madam
I am very privelliged to come across this site.. it has been a tough time and it helped me to do my English exam.
I would thank for on behalf of millions.

I want to highlight that it's nice to send a "Thank you" letter to the interviewer after the job interview, it will leave a good impression and will remind the interviewer about you.

Can you please provide some tips for writing good official emails?

Thanks,
Kumar

Have a look at our sister site:
http://www.theenglishweb.com

There's lots of information about using English at work and writing emails. There's also a business writing course and ebook with tips and examples for writing well.

Please help me in writing a mail for the following situation:-

I have completed a project with our team members. Our team lead sends an email congratulating me, saying "Great Job".

I want to reply him saying something like this "it was a good opportunity to work on such a good project", and saying "Would like to work with you in future also…".

Are there any additional good points that i can mention in the reply.

You can say:

Thank you for your email.
It was a good opportunity to work on such an interesting project, and I look forward to being able to work with you again in the future.

Best wishes

you use "i look forward to…" what is the meaning of this sentence when we add this to any other sentence

It just refers to a future action:

I look forward to hearing from you
I look forward to meeting you next week

I have been working in an american company while living in a foreign country. I leave here in about a month and would like to say thank you to everyone here. Some of them I know well but others I barely speak to. I'm not really sure what to say to them or what kind of gift I should leave for these strangers. Any suggestions on how to phrase a business goodbye/thank- you letter/gift would be appreciated. Thanks, kt.

I'm not sure I'd buy a gift for people I didn't know. On the other hand, you could definitely send an email around the company thanking people for the opportunity of working with them:

As you probably know, I'm leaving (name of company) on Friday, and I just wanted to thank you all for your help and support while I've been here. I've learned a lot about (name of country) while I've been here, and I've really enjoyed working with you. I hope we can keep in contact in the future.

With best wishes

Can you please help me writing an email for the following situation:

I had urgent requirement for money. My friend had given me money and helped me in that situation.

I want to say thanks to my friend saying the following ' Thank you ABC for YYY'

Kumar » Thank you for lending me the money.

pls help me in sending offical mails to my employees with regard to happy christmas and new year , tto start with some quotes and mail to all employess in the company

vasu » If you are writing a simple holiday message, you could just write "Wishing you all a happy holiday!" (Then give your name)

I took break(due to fever) and came to office after a week. After i started working, my project manager says the following:

Happy to see you back working and i hope you healed well.

How should i respond in email?

Thanks,
Kumar

If your boss says this to you, you don't need to reply by email. Just say "Yes, thanks. I feel much better now."

my boss wrote to me this massege .."dear , i like to thank for your contribution in making my first six months in the company so enjoyable and for the assistance in bringing about positive change.i look forward to working with you throuhout 2009 to build on what in only the begining. thanks again and kind regard"

what do advise me for reply?

If your boss wrote this message to everyone, you don't need to reply. It's like a message to thank everyone in the company for their support. But if your boss only wrote to you, you should reply. Perhaps something like "I have greatly enjoyed working with you too, and look forward to helping you achieve our objectives in 2009."

Thank you for providing us with such useful info. I am looking forward to implement them whenever applicable.

One of my senior colleague has resigned from organization and he sent me following mail. I want to reply his mail want ot write that it was nice working with him, his knowledge n experience was very useful for me n company, somthing that sort of. Please help
His mail is as below:
This is to inform you that after long reflection upon the Medlife venture, I decided to sell my stake within that company to Randson and therefore terminate all relations with Medlife.

It goes without saying how much I appreciated your helping us during the whole start up phase of the business in India and also when this project became a reality.

Should you need anything from India I would be more than happy to reciprocate all your kindness and support .

It sounds like this is an email written to everyone in an organisation. You can reply with a brief email:

I was sorry to hear that you are leaving the organisation. I have enjoyed working with you, and your knowledge and experience has helped me enormously.

I wish you every success with your future plans.

My friends and office clients has sent me a New year greeting card.
How can i reciprocate officialy and personaly by replying thankyou note to them

Thank you for your New Year's card.

I'd also like to wish you every success in the coming year.

Yours sincerely / Best wishes

We don't normally write in this occasion, as we usually either invite people (in which case these people then reply to us) or perhaps put an announcement in the newspaper (although this isn't so common any more). Perhaps you could write:

(At this point you can perhaps invite the person to the wedding.)

Hi

Am working as HR in a Pharma company. Please help me in drafting a Thank you mail for all our employees for their Contribution towards the E -News letter Publishing.

Thanks
Jyothi

You can keep it simple by writing:

Many thanks to everyone who contributed towards the newsletter.

(Then attach the newsletter so they can read it, or ask for contributions for the next issue!)

My boss sent me a mail, he say (You are correct, I looked at the wrong sender.

Sorry for the inconvenience.). How can reply him by a very nice words…

You could just reply with a quick "No worries!" to acknowledge your boss's email. But it depends how formal / informal your boss is and what your relationship is. If he / she is quite formal and you don't often talk, you could also write something like "Thank you for getting back to me – I appreciate your reply" or even "Thank you for your clarification".

i wanted contribute some amount inorder to purchase a gift for one of our colligue, so how can i express my feelings with other colligues.

Hi Clare,
I would like to attach my resume in my e-mail. Now how do I start writing my mail? Is it right to start this way – "I have attached my resume for you reference Thank you"

No – it should be obvious that you've attached your resume. You could start your email with why you're applying for / interested in the job.

Dear Clare,
I'd like to thank you and everyone who has been working on such an interesting and extremely useful website.

I think that a person can be successful as long as she/he loves his job and enjoys doing it.

After reading your tips and all these comments I can say without a doubt that you are really fond of it and it is very pleasant to see such a result.

I am an English language teacher. I am from the Republic of Georgia and teach English to foreign students. I know how important it is to "add some salt to the teaching" and your site is cut out for it!

If it's a simple occasion, you can say something like "I'd like to thank (boss name) for putting my name forward for this reward." Then go on to say something nice about your boss – how he / she encourages you, how you enjoy working for him / her etc.
