有来有往才是礼尚往来。别人给你写了祝贺信，你应该回复一下，如此方不伤礼貌。那么，该如何回复这类友好信件呢？ 我们用一封实例信来说明。
dear mr. owens
many thanks for your nice words about my promotion and for the good wishes.
the new job is going to be demanding, especially as i make the transition. i am going to give it my all, however. your support and contribution will help ease the burden and open up a new era in our common fields.
again, i truly appreciate your thoughtfulness for my promotion. i am looking forward to more opportunities of working with you and wish you every success.
cordially yours
这封答谢信的语气友好热情，写信人对自己的晋升非常谦虚，并向对方表达了将来友好合作的愿望。通常答谢信按照这个模式来写就可以了。
