Dear Portia,

Congratulations again on your promotion. You are very deserving of this opportunity and I know you will be an invaluable asset to Virgo America.

T have wanted to be a member of the marketing team ever since I joined this firm 3 years ago as your assistant. Now that you are the new VP of marketing, my mind is set. Thank you very much for your glowing recommendation.

I look forward to working with you in the near future.

Sincerely,
