Ending on a good note

Whether you are the one leaving or a colleague is moving on or retiring, a good farewell message says thank you, remembers time together, and wishes them well. This page covers how to write one and a tool to draft it.

If you are leaving, thank the team for working together, share a way to stay in touch if you like, and skip any negative reasons. If a colleague is leaving, wish them well in the new role and tell them they will be missed.

Example: "Thank you for all the help over the past three years. I learned so much from every one of you. Wishing the team continued success, and see you around." For a retirement, wish them good health and time for the things they love.

Use a formal tone for a manager or someone you are not close to, and a warm or funny tone for teammates.
