How to say goodbye to colleagues after resigning
Written on Saturday, 29 of May, 2010 at 10:08 am
Last week, I’ve decided that it’s time to move forward and join a new company. So, in spite of the fact that my new job offer does not include health coverage or benefits, which means I need to start going through life insurance leads and avail one for my own, the compensation and growth and career opportunity in the new company definitely outweighs that minor inconvenience. Consequently, I formally resigned from my company of six years.
Creating a resignation letter was actually quite a breeze for me because I simply just recycled the one I used in 2007. However, I had never found the need to bid farewell to my colleagues until now. I did research on “How to inform your colleagues about your resignation” and was able to come up with the goodbye-let’s-still-keep-in-touch letter below. It’s a personal email to be sent to your colleagues. After all, you wouldn’t want to burn the bridges now, won’t you? Hope this letter helps!
