Farewell Letter to Colleagues
One of the hardest part of leaving your job is saying goodbye to your coworkers. Writing a farewell letter is a way to that you can say goodbye, thank them, and open up an opportunity to stay connected to them.
If the letter is being sent as a hard copy, then it should be in the proper business format, otherwise, if the letter is being emailed, it should have an appropriate subject line and proper grammar.
- Let them know that you are leaving and when you're leaving.
- Thank them and let them know how much you appreciate them.
- Give them your contact info so that they can stay in contact with you.
- Try to send the farewell letter before you leave the company.
- Don't send your farewell letter until you let your management know that you are leaving.
- Keep a positive tone to your letter, don't say anything negative about the company or employees.
It is with regret that I write this letter to inform you of my decision to resign from [Company Name] effective [Month Day, Year].
It has been a pleasure working with all of you as we navigated both the good times and the more challenging times. I especially appreciate all the people who took the time to answer my questions, explain corporate policies and procedures, and train me to perform new assignments.
Although I am excited at the prospect of moving on to a new job with new responsibilities, I doubt very much that I will ever find another team as caring and cohesive as this one.
I extend my best wishes to all of you and to the [Company Name]. If you wish to stay in touch with me, you can reach me at my personal e-mail at [E-mail Address]
Best,

[Your Name]
