Before the beginning of a new year, you should follow the norm of writing a Happy New Year Letter to your boss. For years people have been somewhat apprehensive writing a greeting of any sort to a boss simply because they do not want to appear too eager. This tradition is not applicable anymore. Your boss will know you enough to know when you are writing to him because you have an ulterior motive and when you simply want to wish him for something.
So a New Year letter to your boss needs to be simply written especially if you have a new boss with whom your work relationship is yet to become solid. However, if you have worked under your boss’s supervision for some time, you can go into a little bit of detail as well. What type of detail can one possibly put in a New Year letter? Well, you will hardly write just “Happy New Year” in a letter! You will of course need to delve into something to make the letter appear more profound.

Dear Mr. Lager:
We are approaching the end of 2014, yet another successful year where we have exceeded all our targets. Let me take this opportunity to thank you for your guidance and wish you a very Happy New Year!
Without your support, the marketing team would not have been able to meet its targets and on behalf of the team, I would like to thank you for the solid example that you set for us. Due to the constant motivation that you have provided us with, we are now looking forward to what Year 2015 brings in terms of challenges and successes. We have vowed to work progressively to increase customer satisfaction and customer base in the coming years – this is our self-target and we anticipate working towards it under your guidance and leadership.
On the last working day before the holidays commence, we are all gathering for coffee at Starbucks (down the road from our office). Please join us to celebrate both our victories and to ring in the holidays. We look forward to hearing from you.
Wish you and your family a very Happy New Year.
Sincerely,
Hannah Ferde
