If one of your employees is leaving the company, writing them a farewell letter is going to put a smile on their face and let them know they were appreciated.
It only takes a few minutes, and the impact something like this can have on someone is immeasurable – so I recommend writing one.
Here are sample farewell letters to employees who are leaving that you can use to wish them well:

These are just some samples of farewell letters that you can use when one of your employees is leaving the company.
Hopefully, you can use one of these or at least take one and tweak it to suit your own circumstances.
The important thing is that you don’t stress over the wording too much and actually give someone a farewell letter.
Doing so not only lets them know they were appreciated but it’ll put a smile on their face as they prepare to embark on their next journey.
So don’t put it off – spend a few minutes writing a farewell letter!
