Answer 1

Hint: As this letter is written on behalf of a managing director to all his employees, the letter must well maintain a formal tone. Words used should be professional.

Complete answer:
The given letter is written by the managing director of a company to all his employees, greeting them for Labor Day. As it is an official letter, it must be formal with the apt professional and modest words.

> Option a cannot be the right option as takes an informal tone. This statement simply appreciates the workers on behalf of the day.

> Option b also renders a mere expression of gratitude. This is more informal in tone than option a and hence wrong.

> Option c gives a formal as well as professional way of thanking the staff. This shows the gratitude the manager owes to his employees and thus the right choice.

> Option d is incorrect because the given statement stands different from the context.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘c’. 

Note: Formal letters are used for official communication. It must have a proper salutation and brief content with apt word usages.
