Dismissal is not always a pleasant moment, but if parting with your beloved organization takes place in a positive atmosphere, and the team has become practically a family, a good letter of thanks will be an elegant finishing touch of fruitful cooperation.
Instructions
Step 1
The tradition of writing farewell lines upon dismissal has come down to us relatively recently and has not taken root everywhere, but, nevertheless, it is an indicator of good form. Before composing a letter of gratitude, you need to decide on the addressee: it can be addressed both to the organization itself (then the style will be more formal), and to the team as a whole, or to each of the employees individually. This letter is half a business document and an important element of work etiquette.
Step 2
A letter of thanks, addressed to the entire organization or the leader, is drawn up according to the same rules as a regular business letter. Such a document has a "heading" in the upper right corner of the sheet containing the data of the addressee (person or organization). This is followed by an appeal starting with the full name or company name. Here you can use epithets (respected, respected). Further - the text of the letter itself and the signature in the lower left corner.
Step 3
The text of the official letter of thanks, as a rule, is drawn up on the basis of generally accepted phrases-templates (I express my deep gratitude, I express my sincere gratitude) and positive epithets characterizing joint activities (clear, wonderful, reliable, conscientious, etc.). In the signature, in addition to the full name, indicate the position. It is considered good form to start a signature with the words "with respect."
Step 4
A letter addressed to colleagues, although it is a requirement of business etiquette, should not be too formal. It should start by informing employees that you are leaving the organization. If possible, it is advisable to state the reason for such a decision, if it is not overtly negative or delicate. Further, it is recommended to mention the positive aspects of joint work, common achievements. It is important to note the invaluable help of colleagues in your personal victories.
Step 5
The words of gratitude to the team are very important; here you should avoid the official tone. A sincere appeal to employees usually ends with an offer to stay in touch. Here you can also leave your contact information: phone number, email or a link to a social network page. It is also better to make the signature informal, replacing the phrase "sincerely" with "with the warmest wishes", "always yours", etc. It is possible that maintaining warm human relationships with colleagues will positively affect not only the level of emotional comfort, but also the future career.
