Sample of a Last Day at Office Email
Dear Colleagues,
As most of you are aware, today is my last day at Hubport Co, after having spent five memorable years here. During my time here, I have found amazing friends and developed life-long relationships; and as much as I would love to stay here, I am moving on for purely professional reasons.
That being said, I will truly miss each one of you, especially James, Martha, Henry, Janet and Remy, who have been my teammates since the day I joined.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Tolbert, Mr. Higgins and Mrs. Jonathan for being excellent supervisors and mentors. It is with their guidance that I was able to learn new skills and excel at what I already knew.
Even though I am going to be working in another organization, I hope that I my existing friends here will continue to be by my side. My contact information will remain the same, and I would love to stay in touch with all of you.
Best of luck for your future,
Regards,
John Gillard -
