Dear Felix
I very much enjoyed reading your article, [TITLE, ex. “The Application of Statistical Techniques in Manufacturing Managementâ€], in [PUBLICATIONS, ex. Management Weekly]. [MENTION A POINT ON WHICH YOU AGREE WITH AUTHOR, ex. I indeed agree with you that X-bar charting techniques are key in determining when a manufacturing process is malfunctioning.]
Allow me this opportunity to congratulate you on this publication. It is an honor to know a person whose work has been recognized this respectable [magazine / newspaper / publication, etc.].
Regards
Lydia
