祝贺信是社交中的一种礼仪性信函。通常包括以下几个方面的内容：说明祝贺事由，表达热烈、诚挚的祝贺;围绕祝贺事件表述贺喜内容;表达美好祝福。
写作"三步走"：
说明事由并表达自己衷心的祝贺->展开评论事件、赞扬收信人->再次表达良好祝愿
在写作主要内容的时候，可以重点赞扬一下当事人的优秀能力和取得成就的原因、并展望他将来的美好发展前景等。
Tips inEnglish
Here are some principles that congratulatoryletters follow:
1. The purpose ofwriting the letter is to make your reader feel certain that he or she deservesthe special message of recognition and praise.
2. The note should be brief, dealing with the primary topic only. These messagesare most effective when they conduct no business.
3. The whole message should carry a tone of being positive and conversational(会谈的，谈话的).
4. Be sure to send the letter within a few days of the event. Any delay indelivery of the message would make your effort worse than no effort at all.
