Я хотел бы воспользоваться этой возможностью, чтобы вы­разить свое удовлетворение по случаю Вашего избрания на этот высокий пост и пожелать Вам всяческих успехов в Вашей работе

   is "I should like to congratulate you on your election " The idea, after
   all, is basically that the speaker is pleased that the chairman has been
   elected It is rarely worth wasting time on choosing the precise adjective
   or term in these "flowers "
