You may have stopped being a colleague, but you’ll always remain my friend. Your resignation is a cruel reminder that all good things in life must come to an end. The troubles of miles of commute was undone by your one smile.
You are the best colleague I have ever met. Thanks a lot for all your support and encouragement. However, you’re bound for bigger and better things. You’ve been a friend, colleague, and mentor whom I have treasured so much. I wish you the best of luck and continued success wherever you may find yourself. Thanks for the motivation and for the on-the-job training I have received from you. I’ll do my best to make sure I uphold the work ethic and commitment that you’re known for. But we wish that you don’t forget the old friends who have loved you always.
It’s time to move on and scale new heights. This is such an exciting opportunity for you, but we still can’t believe you’re leaving. I appreciate all your words of encouragement and everything I have learned from you. Your decision-making skills are an asset that have always inspired me to be like you. Others stay awhile, make footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same. Some people come into our lives and quickly go. It will be difficult to fill the void created by your absence. Thanks for all those times when you helped me in the tasks I wasn’t able to do on time. The people you’re going to work with are in for a real treat. I wish I could be your coworker there too. The sweet memories of working with a coworker like you will be hard to forget. Thank you for all the support and goodwill you have shown to me over the years. Your new place is incredibly lucky to have you. You’ve been so dependable, supportive, encouraging, and honest during your time here.
