"I employ you to be a good ambassador of the state and make us proud." We promise to give you all the necessary support from the management angle, and we wish you all the best."

"I want to say a very big thank you to you sir for this wonderful opportunity given to me. I promise to do my best for the team, I shall not disappoint or abuse this rare opportunity."
