Dear Mr. Anthony,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my congratulations towards your retirement at The French Village International Staff School and a successful career over the years.

In restrospection, I am immensly grateful for your profound input in my early childhod education which impacted my subsequent higher institution studies remarkably. Once upon a time, I remember you adviced me continually during leisure periods at school; constantly motivating me to study my books, be optimistic and to always choose the right path in life. I am eternally grateful upon the kind gesture.

Moreover, It’s been great pleasure meeting you and I’m sure the school is also thankful for your service. I wish you great success in your future endeavors as well as a healthy and more prosperous life in years to come.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I look forward to seeing you at your retirement party.

Yours sincerely,

Frank Itobe
