Retirement Congratulations Letter to Employee from Employer

Congratulations is a medium to communicate to someone that you are happy about their success or happiness on a particular matter.

Well, in case of retirement, there is obviously no success about it, so some might think congratulating on retirement might be an offensive thing. However, it is not so if you can word it properly in your email or letter or even while congratulating personally.

Retirement is a matter of happiness. It is a breakpoint of all the years of hard work. Therefore, congratulating him or her is essentially to wish them good luck and lots of happiness for the rest of their retirement days.
