Employee Resignation Announcement Email
An employee resignation email announcement is sent out when an employee leaves your organisation and the management wants to inform all other employees about the resulting changes.
The email is typically sent to all the staff members working in your company and serves as an opportunity to appreciate the outgoing colleague’s achievements alongside any important changes or developments.
Here we will show you how to write an employee resignation announcement email and also provide a sample and a template to help you write your own.
Tips for Writing an Employee Resignation Announcement Email

- If there are any important changes being made due to his/her departure, you might want to mention them as well
- Any farewell party or event being held should also be stated in the email
- If the outgoing employee left any contact information he/she wanted to share, provide that in the email
- Invite any queries or questions regarding the change from your existing employees

Dear Staff,
This e-mail is being sent out to announce the resignation of James Morrison, who has decided to move on towards bigger opportunities after having worked with ABC Group as Assistant Manager Operations for five years.
Mr. Morrison started with ABC Group in 2009 as a Senior Operations Officer and eventually worked his way up to Assistant Manager Operations. He has been a valued part of our team over the past five years and all his colleagues have had a great time working with him.
He is expected to join another company as Manager Operations, for which we all wish him every success.
I would also like to request all of you to join us at the farewell party that the company has arranged for James. It will be held on June 27, 2014, in the Conference Hall.
I look forward to seeing all of our staff members at the farewell party, giving a toast to our colleague and friend, a person who brought a lot of success to this company.
Sincerely,
Alex Eisenberg
Manager HR
ABC Group -
