IELTS Congratulation Letter:
In our lives, we often need to or want to give credit and accolades where they are due. When our best friend gets married or becomes a parent, we congratulate him/her. Similarly, we recognize our colleagues, friends, or family members' accomplishment/ achievement/ success by sending them a congratulation letter.

3. When someone achieves a success.
4. When someone gets a new job.
5. When someone has been awarded a prize for something.
