Letter of Welcome

A welcome letter is a letter sent to politely greet and introduce somebody to an organization. It could be sent to a new term of students at a school or college, someone recently given a job, or to attendees of a conference. Depending on the situation a letter of welcome may contain important information that a new person might not yet be aware of.

 

When sent to a new employee its main purpose is to let the new employee know that everyone is glad they are here, and to offer a support system in case they ever need any help. These letters are great for boosting employee morale and letting them know that they are now part of a team.

Steps

Starting to Write

1

Politely thank or congratulate the recipient for becoming part of the team.

2

Recap or outline any obligations.

3

Make note of any key information and enclose welcome packs or programs if warranted.
