If you’re writing an informal letter, such as to a friend, you could say something like, “Way to go!” or “I knew you could do it, I’m so proud of you!” For a more formal letter, you can use phrases like “my sincerest compliments on your accomplishment” or “I’d like to commend you on your extraordinary work.”

If you’re writing to a friend, keep the tone warm, friendly, and informal. Give them your congratulations, mention what you’re congratulating them for, and tell them how you feel. For example, “Congrats on getting that promotion at work! I’m so happy for you. Let’s go celebrate later!”
