Sample Farewell Email Messages

It's your last day and you have one more final impression to make - the farewell email.

If you're not able to say goodbye individually to people you've interacted with at work, a mass email blast will show people that you did at least spare them one thought in your last moments at work!
Unlike in your Out-Of-Office reply.

Scroll down for short and sharp farewell emails and responses to announce your goodbye to the whole office.

Farewell Email Message 1

Subject: Goodbye to Me

To everyone that knows me,
It will be my last day at the company this Friday, and at 5:30pm I can be located on the (insert club) deck.
Thanks for the good times, it's been a gas.
Feel free to laugh at me for going to WhatsitsCompany, otherwise you can buy me a shandy.

Good-bye Email 3

Subject: Keep in Touch!

Hi all,

It is my last day after a wonderful 3 years with WhatsitsCompany. I would like to sincerely thank each of you for every experience shared, friendship made, opportunity offered and good times had during this time.

I have thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of being part of the exploration group and I wish you all the very best in the future.

If anyone wants to keep in contact, you can email me on JaneWhatshername@hotmail.com (or on facebook).

Miss you all,

Love Jane Whatshername

And if they know you all too well:

Subject: You Won't See The Last Of Me!

Dear all,

I am leaving today to herd goats in Cyprus for my wealthy great-aunt. I wish to thank you for your support over the past X years. It was rewarding to achieve some of the targets with you, and to have known some of you personally (remember, what happens in the art department, stays in the art department).

I am now looking forward to the new challenges of close-quarter surveillance of the Billie-Gruff family, while moonlighting as a consultant in [industry/company].

If you are thinking of getting into the booming goat-herding industry (sorry [name of boss] to poach,) or wish to keep in touch, my contact details are [email/phone number].

I wish you all the best in your future.

Warmest regards,

Jane Whatshername

Subject: Re: Leaving

Jane,
On behalf of the crew at WhatsitsCompany I would like to say how sorry we are to hear of your departure.
Our loss is most certainly WhatsanotherCompany's gain.
While we have not had a lot to do with each other, whenever our paths have crossed your friendly disposition and smiling face has been a welcome addition to our day.
Thanks, and best of luck in your new career path.
Take Care
John Whatsisname
