Write a letter to an applicant (see below) congratulating him on his acceptance and welcoming him to the organization.

\nPreparation:
\nFormat:
\nUse the modified block letter format for this assignment. Please refer to page 421-423 for an explanation of the block and modified block formats. The example in your book on page 422 is a block format letter while the example on page 423 is modified block letter format. Please note the differences carefully.
