Hi, here are the draft of the letter.

Pls have a look and give me comment. I want to express my throught politely and clearly. Do I need to write more thankful wording to my boss?

Dear Mr. smith,

Hope it is not too odd that I send you this e-mail

I am very glad for the chance you provided to me allows me to work with the team again. I told (manager) that if he can give me a week of holiday even I already left (company). He accepted, said that he will review my salary and gives me reply very soon. I am waiting for the reply patiently.

If we can work it out of that, I would like you to know that I view my future at (company) very positively. This is now an opportunity in front of me.

I am looking forward to my new responsibilities and will certainly do my very best not to disappoint you

Through this letter I want to express also my appreciation for your offering me the position of ____ before. This is a viable opportunity; one that given me a chance at considerable growth and advancement.

Have a nice day!

Hi,

I still don't understand. Mr. Smith and 'the manager' are two different people?

Dear Mr. Smith,

Hope it is not too odd that I send you this e-mail<<< Delete this

I am very glad for the chance you provided to me to work with the team again. I told (manager) that I will consider the offer if he can give me a week of holiday even I already left (company).How can he give you a holiday if you have already left?

He accepted, said that he will review the salary offered me, and give me a reply very soon. I am waiting patiently to hear from him.

If we can work it out, I would like you to know that I view my future at (company) very positively. This is a good opportunity for me.

I am looking forward to my new responsibilities and will certainly do my very best not to disappoint you <<< THis sounds like you will definitely work there again. But it's not definite yet, is it?

Through this letter I want to express also my appreciation for your offer. This is a viable opportunity; one that gives me a chance at considerable growth and advancement.

Have a nice day! <<< Too casual, delete it.

Hi Everyone!

Can someone help me on how to properly reply in email from the boss who gives me an information on something or update. Is it okay or is it formal to say "Noted on this. Thanks a lot." or there's a better way on replying to this. Please help me.

AnonymousIs it okay or is it formal to say "Noted on this. Thanks a lot."

Not really. You are not saying anything, and it is not impressive.

1. Acknowledgement:
Thank you for the update /information.
2. What you will do with the information? eg.
I will act on it immediately. / I can use it on my current project. / It will help me deal with customer Smith's case / That answered my question about our refund policy. / etc
