Farewell Guide

It's the beginning of new experiences and the end of cherished memories. Farewell may seem like just a random day but the importance of it is felt directly by the heart. Remember, when you were about to leave your school. The way you got up early and got dressed. The weird sensation in your stomach, the nervousness, the excitement to see your friends one last time.

We all feel that we could stay connected to people no matter what happens but that's not true. Someday we all lose the connection and what's left are just the memories. So why can't we make sure to make them as special as we can? After all, farewell is something we experience just a few times in our lives.

Introduction

As life moves from one door, the second one opens. Life is nothing but a transition of movements that makes us see our past, live in the present and dream of the future. Whenever we tend to see our past, there are moments of nostalgia centring on some of the sweet things. Farewell is one such memory that can be experienced just once but can be remembered every time.

Farewell  wishes

This event motivates us to look forward and welcome the challenges wholeheartedly. A farewell will lose all our negativity as we leave on a good note. Forget all the bad happenings and let's wish our colleagues, friends and family members a happy and memorable farewell.

Why write a Farewell card?

We write farewell letters to cherish the memories of the day. We say whatever our heart desires and make the receiver happy. It's about saying goodbye, more like a personal goodbye which involves a letter. Letters are the sweetest way of communication which seems to have lost their importance in the current world. But let no excuse stop you today from writing the most honest farewell letter to your loved ones.

It's a way of celebration and the expression of good wishes and blessings. Trust me when people love you they preserve everything as a souvenir that can be opened anytime and the old memories could be untangled again.

Whom to write a Farewell card?

We can write a farewell letter to any of our acquaintances. It's about sharing unforgettable memories. We should respect the person, not the position.

Share this letter with your colleagues, family members, friends, household workers, maybe the pizza guy if you know he or she is about to retire. In short, share it with everyone. The people will remember you for your caring and affectionate attitude.

How to write an Anniversary Card?

Here are simple tips that you should follow while writing a farewell letter. It is important that you know who your audience is and act that way. Keep formal behaviour if it's a formal location.

farewell wishes
  • Salutation

  • The start is the most important thing. Use formal wordings if you are going to share them with your colleagues. Use personal names if you are going to share them with your friends or family members.

  • Remind them of the Last Day

  • Remind them everything about the long days and nights that they have shared and worked. Show them how you remember everything and how you will remember the last day.

  • Content

  • It is important that you keep negative emotions aside and express appreciation for the work they did or the memories you created together. Your content should show true feelings of proud behaviour.

  • Offer Best Wishes

  • Offer them your best wishes as they are about to start a new journey of their lives. They are going to remember you for the love and support they gave you so don't forget to put a smile on their faces.

  • Tone

  • Your tone depends on the location. If you want to share this in your office then you must keep it formal. When it comes to informal letters, just speak your heart.

  • Say Something Funny

  • You are at the end of the letter and I know you certainly don't want the receiver to cry so try saying something funny that would prevent them from crying. After all, the last day should be celebrated with utmost happiness.

  • Endings

  • End it with happy salutations. You shouldn't use complex words. It should look like it's written by you and not copied from somewhere.
