Friday, October 23 is my last day at [Company], and I wanted to say goodbye and thank you. My time here has taught me so much, mostly because of the people reading this. Thank you for the help, the patience and all the laughs. I'll miss you all.

Last day at [Company]! Thank you for making it such a great place to work.
This is my official last-day message. 🥲 Thank you for all the time of meetings that could have been emails, emails that should have been meetings, and the best coworkers a person could ask for.
Well, this is it: Friday, October 23 is my last day. I'm leaving behind my desk plant, my favorite mug and the best team ever. Please water the plant. 🪴
After all this time, I've finally found the exit. 🚪 Kidding: leaving this team is genuinely hard. Thank you for everything!

Who's going to laugh at my jokes in meetings now, [Name]? Congrats on the new job. They have no idea how lucky they are. 💙
For the record: you're leaving, and we're all pretending to be fine about it. Good luck, [Name]! Don't forget us when you're famous.

Congrats on the new role, [Name]! I'm told I'm not allowed to keep a recurring 1:1 on your calendar forever, so instead: thank you, and keep in touch. 💙

Congrats on retiring, [Name]! No more alarms, no more status meetings, and every day is Saturday. We're not jealous at all. (We're very jealous.)
Say thank you for something real
"Thanks for getting me through my first on-call week" beats "thanks for everything". One specific memory is worth a paragraph of adjectives.
Keep it about the good parts
A farewell isn't the place for why you're leaving or what should change. People remember the tone of the last message.
Say who takes over
One line with who picks up your work saves a week of "who do I ask now?" messages after you're gone.
Leave a way to stay in touch
A personal email or LinkedIn at the end. Work addresses stop working the day after.
For team leads
Forgot puts everyone's time off, who covers for whom and your release dates on one calendar, so nothing falls through the week someone leaves.

Thank them, ideally for something specific, say what you'll miss, mention who's taking over your work, and leave a personal email or LinkedIn so people can keep in touch. Four or five sentences is plenty.
On your last day, in the morning or around lunch, so people have time to reply before you log off. Sending it at 5 pm means you miss the replies.
Both, if your company uses Slack: a post in your team channel for the people you work with every day, and an email for everyone else, like other teams and people who don't live in Slack.
One or two warm lines and your name: "It won't be the same without you. Thanks for always having my back!" On a group card, short is better than long.
Only if you want to and it's public. "I'm joining Figma" is nice to share; if you'd rather not, "I'm off to a new adventure" is perfectly fine.
Yes. Switch to Card, then add a name and a short note for each person, up to eight. Each signature gets its own pen color, like a real card going round the office. Add their photo and your logo, then download it as a picture to post or print.
No. The messages are written by hand and filled in in your browser. Your own name and company are remembered on this device so next time is quicker. Names, photos and signatures for the card never leave your browser.
