When is the best time to send out a farewell letter to colleague?

Question

Is it okay to send it out 3 weeks before my transfer to another company?

Answer 1

if i were you i would try to send it to where they'll receive it right before i leave.

Answer 2

3 weeks is fine or even 2 weeks is sufficient.

They need enough time to throw you a surprise farewell party.

And you and them both need chance to exchange farewell emotions and encouragements in persons if possible.

Answer 3

this is a difficult question to answer with certainty for it seems to have not yet been discovered by a fool man like me!but as far as my nocturnal mind is concerned there is no best time for sending a farewell letter to a colleague-i am assuming here that both of you and all the other person involved have a good or balanced relationship.Play this out,since you lived not for sympathy!do not expect for them to be sympathetic.Just forget them,for they're stopping your growth.

Answer 4

its best if you give it,on the day you will leave or the day before you leave..cause if you give it 3 weeks before u leave,the moment of "missing you" is not that say "on a high level"..:)

Answer 5

No, I would only do it on the last day and only with permission from a manager or HR

Answer 6

Best to ask for personal info and send it privately if you are that close.

Otherwise, with manager permission, a mass e-mail or something like it on the last day is a nice gesture. By mass e-mail I don't mean company wide, just to the ones you work with personally.

And if you want to keep in touch, leave contact info, like e-mail address or whatever you prefer.
