Tips
Add one real detail
“Your presentation was impressive” becomes unforgettable as “the way you handled that tough question in your presentation was so calm”. Details prove the compliment is real.
Keep looks comments classy
Style, smile and taste are lovely to hear. Comments about someone's body can feel uncomfortable from an unknown sender, even when they're meant well. Stick to what they chose: their outfit, their hair, their photos.
Don't make it a guessing game
A compliment is a gift, not a riddle. If you want them to know it was you, tell them in person — and if you don't, let the message stand on its own.
