Promotion Congratulations Message

## CONTEXT

A promotion is a professional milestone that deserves more than a quick congrats in a chat thread. The strongest messages recognize the specific advancement, acknowledge the work and qualities that earned it, and express genuine confidence in how the person will handle the new role. Whether the message is from a peer, a manager, a mentor, or a friend, the goal is to help the writer celebrate the promotion in a way that feels sincere and tailored rather than a reflexive workplace nicety.
