When you’re leaving a company, you may want to write a farewell letter to say goodbye and thank your co-workers. It lets people know some important information.

Farewell Note DO’s:

  • Do let people know when your last day is, your contact info, and maybe your reason for leaving (retirement, new position, new career).
  • Use your best judgment when deciding who should receive your goodbye letter. Maybe just your boss, maybe your immediate group, maybe the whole company– but only if it’s a small one.
  • Let people know who to direct questions to in your absence.

Farewell Note DON’Ts:

  • Don’t burn bridges.  This is not a chance to tell someone off. 
  • Don’t be mushy or wax philosophical on life.  Keep it professional; say farewell, thank you, and best of luck.
  • Don’t brag about your new position.

Dear Group,

As you may know, today is my last day with [Current Company]. I have recently accepted an offer from [New Company] in Dallas, Texas and will be moving there shortly. I will miss California but am looking forward to returning to Texas, which is where my wife and I are from and still have family.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues and let you all know how I’ve enjoyed working with you these past few years. I wish you all success in the future and am grateful for the opportunity to work with you.

Please direct all work-related issues to Myra Hicks at heremail@email.com. (Thank you Myra for helping me with this transition.) You may also contact me personally at myemail@email.com.

Thanks again for everything.

Farewell Thank You for Co-Worker’s Contribution

If someone who works for you is leaving, that’s another good reason to write a farewell thank you note; to thank them for their contributions. Here’s how:


Greetings,

I wanted to let everyone know that Candace Cane will be moving on from the company this Friday. As many of you know, Candy has been an important member of our team and was an instrumental contributor on a number of high profile projects. Her strong work ethic, attention to detail, and persistence will be sorely missed.

Please all join me in thanking Candy for her invaluable efforts these past 2 years and wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.

Best regards,

Farewell Thank You from Boss

Sincerely,
