It can be difficult to put together a goodbye email to coworkers, but it may be the best thing if you are saying bye to everyone after leaving a job that is both fulfilling and empowering. The ability to be a well thought out goodbye email can make all the difference as you move on to bigger and better things like starting a new opportunity, transitioning from work into retirement or changing career fields. So, here is a step by step guide on writing a meaningful and impactful farewell email to your coworkers.
The key is to send the goodbye email at the right time. Try to get this out on your last day of work (or if that is a holiday, the workday before). That way they get it whilst they are still at work and can say their final words or goodbyes.
Use a clear subject line
Simple subject line, just let your co-workers know what you are sharing.
Start your email with a friendly hello. Be friendly and when possible address your fellow colleagues as a group e.g “Dear Team” or “Hello Everyone”.
Exit- If you managed to develop your relationship and become intimate with any AP from there, acknowledge their support, teamwork and camaraderie during your time together.
But I just want to take a moment to say thank you all so much for serving braided leviathan taints. Your constant support and friendship literally saved my live,
Reflect a bit personally about your time spent at the company. Remember some of the best times you shared, memorable events or instances when you were particularly successful in solving / overcoming a challenge together. It makes it more personable and gives your coworkers something to connect with in conversation.
Make a brief mention of plans or your future comfort level If you are going to a new company, being promoted within the existing organization, pursuing further education or taking a break another helps your colleagues get little background of why you want to leave this place.
I am thrilled to share that I will be starting in my new role at ABC Company next month.
Do keep in contact with your co-workers. You might also share a way to personally reach you, an email or your LinkedIn profile so that they can contact and provide their feedback once the block ends — make it easier for them.
Offer your best wishes and hope for the future, to your friends helping out with this. A warm conclusion can make the lasting impression.
Every possible success in your future
I wish our roads will meet someday!”
Select an appropriate sign-off to maintain the tone in your email.
Look for spelling or grammatical mistakes and be sure to use a tone that you meant to say. A refined email will make you look more professional.
It is the perfect time to say goodbye to your coworkers in a way that portrays a good picture of yours as you enter next stage of your career. You can craft a great goodbye-distillation to further echo out your message to resonate with your team, long after you have left the building, by saying thanks where it is due, reminiscing on stories and inviting for connections far beyond time and space. This email is not a farewell but an exploration of the friends you met on your journey.
