What should I say in a farewell letter to coworkers?

Thank your colleagues for specific shared experiences, mention a few highlights or lessons learned, keep the tone positive and forward-looking, and share your personal contact info so people can stay in touch.

Should I send a farewell email to the whole company or just my team?

Send to your immediate team and close collaborators first with a personal touch. A broader company-wide email is appropriate if you worked cross-functionally. Keep the wider email shorter and more general.

When should I send my farewell letter?

Send it on your last day or the day before. Sending too early can be awkward during your remaining time. Use CraftMyLetter AI to draft it in advance so it's ready to send when the time comes.

How long should a farewell letter be?

Keep it under 300 words. People skim long emails. Hit three points: gratitude, a memorable moment or two, and how to stay connected. A concise, heartfelt message has more impact than a lengthy essay.

When to use this letter

Use on your last day (or final week) to say goodbye to coworkers when you're leaving a job, team, or company. It's a warm personal note, not an official HR resignation letter.

What to include

A clear mention that it's your last day and a brief, positive reason for the send-off
Specific gratitude for people, teams, or moments that meant something to you
A genuine highlight or fond memory rather than generic praise
Your personal contact info (email and/or LinkedIn) so people can stay in touch

Common mistakes to avoid

Venting frustrations or taking parting shots at managers, coworkers, or the company
Keeping it cold and corporate instead of warm and personal
Forgetting to share contact details, so the connection is lost after you leave
