Dear Ben: 

I was very happy and pleased to learn of your recent and most deserved promotion. I regret that I have not written earlier to congratulate you, but an extended illness and temporary duty kept me out of touch with events for nearly a month. 

With kindest regards and every good wish, 

Most sincerely,
