Birthday Congratulation Letter

Wishing your friends, relatives, colleagues, etc., on their birthdays is extremely important. We usually wish our friends by posting on their Facebook walls, tweets on Twitter, or by sending text messages. Previously, people wrote letters and mailed greeting cards to wish others on their birthday. Wishing someone by writing a letter written by yourself, in your handwriting, makes a difference. It shows that you care for the person, and you managed to take some time out from your busy schedule to write a letter for that person. If you want to wish the person in a different way, write a letter with the help of the congratulations letter on birthday given below.

This letter could be addressed to someone whom you know very well, or share a very casual relationship with. It might also be written for a person with whom you share a formal relationship. In both the cases, the approach of your letter varies. In a formal relationship, you cannot get too casual with the reader. You have to maintain a formal approach. In case of an informal relationship, you do not need to restrict your thoughts and feelings, you can freely joke around with the person and write what you wish.

To help you understand the difference between the two, we have given two different sample letters below. The first sample letter is addressed to a friend, and the second letter is addressed to a client. In both the cases, the content would vary, based on the relationship they share with each other.

1. Sample Letter for Congratulations on Birthday - Informal

Dear Bobo,

Wish you many happy returns of the day. I am missing my buddy on his birthday, but I am sorry I could not be there with you. I tried hard, but could not make it this time. This is probably your first birthday when the two of us are not together, but I promise, once I come back next week, we will have a huge party. Hey, although I could not make it there, I am sure my letter will reach you on time, and yes, don't expect any gift with this letter because I haven't sent any.

What are your plans for the day Bobo? What a stupid question, you will be definitely spending time with your boyfriend. As I am not there, your whole day would be for your boyfriend. Make sure he makes it the most special day, or else I will punch him in his nose. Bobo, please no more strawberry cakes, I mean try something new. You have been ordering the same cake since past six years.

Well, I would reach LA by 10th of December, and we would meet the next day. Do not expect any gifts from London. Until then take care and enjoy.

See you soon.
Bye.

Love,
LoLo

Dear Mr. Francis,

On behalf of Tech Computing Solutions, I wish you a great birthday. May this birthday bring loads of luck and happiness, and fulfill all your desires.

Mr. Francis, it has been great working with you and it's almost been 6 years now. Every year neither do you fail to wish me on my birthday, and we have also developed a similar habit. Today on your birthday, we wish you a great life ahead, and hope our relation remains the same in the years to come.

In our next business meeting, we expect a treat from you; after all you have been awarded with the Tech Expert Award on your birthday. You thus, have two reasons to be happy, and we have two reasons to celebrate the same with you.

One again wishing you a very happy birthday, and hope you enjoy a lot.

Thank you.

Regards,

The two letters given above are written in two different situations. In the first letter, a friend wishes her friend on her birthday, and pokes fun at her choice of cake and her plans for the day. In the other letter, a businessperson wishes her client on his birthday. Thus, the tone of the letter is formal and the letter is precise.

Wish your loved ones, colleagues, and clients on their birthday by writing them a birthday wishes letter that would add to their joy. Also, you can view tips for writing Congratulations Letter and Congratulation Letter for Scholarship writing tips for more example of letters.
