Focus on a simple, genuine sentiment. Mention a shared experience or a personal trait of theirs that makes you confident in their success. Keep it real and personal.

The length can vary from a quick note to a short paragraph, depending on your relationship. Formality should match your usual style with them; keep it friendly but respectful.
