If you're leaving your company and you want your co-workers to know how much you appreciate them, a
great way to let them know, and to say goodbye, is through thank you notes. Whether you are leaving to have
a baby, retire, start a new job, or for some other reason, the effort of writing thank you notes to say thank
you for a farewell gift or just for the time you had together will touch the people you have worked with.
You can also use let people know important information such as when your last day is, your new contact info,
and maybe your reason for leaving (retirement, new position, new career). If this is your main motivation, you
can be less sentimental and just say farewell, thank you, and best of luck. It leaves things on a good note.
Some wording suggestions are below. Note that many of these are worded as if to a group, but you can change
that if you will be creating varied mesages that will be more customized for particular individuals (as is the
case with most other types of thank you notes). You can find many other wording samples that you can adapt or
use in the other occasion sections in the Tips and Samples tab.
