Hello,
This year I received a good rating on my annual performance review. This is only my second year at my company (and my first job out of college). So I don't know if it's appropriate to provide comments for a good rating on the "Annual Performance Review" document. I was thinking that an email to my supervisor and director might be more appropiate. Or should I write some notes of appreciation since someone in Human Resources (or even the President of my company) can see this . I certainly know that my supervisor and director were appreciative of my work, however, they did explain that it was difficult to convince the "Annual Performance Review Committee" to give me a good rating. These people are not in my group, so they do not really get a chance to see what I do from day to day. I think this is more about office politics. In any case, can anyone let me know what I should write. I want to show appreciation and gratitude, but I'm not really good with words. If anyone can offer some good advice, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

is make a general statement that you are pleased your superiors have confidence in your work and are satisfied with your performance and that you enjoy working there (don't "gush").
Also here would be a good place to broach the issues of advancement and career development, but not in such a way as to seem "threatening" to the person you directly report to (you doon't want to appear to be after their job).
To say nothing can either be interpreted as you being a subservient dweeb or a disinterested drone. A comment means you took the time to read the performance appraisal and you agree or disagree with its content.
