Moving On - A Professional Template for Goodbye

My official farewell at work:

In my first CIS townhall meeting a little over two and a half years ago,
an employee was recognized for his length of service to the
organization. When asked to comment about his tenure, he summed it up
with the following:

"If you can dream it, you can do it and there's no better place to do it
than at CIS, and there's no better time than now."

Since that time, there hasn't been a day that's gone by when I haven't
lived by these words at work. CIS has given me opportunities that I
probably would not have received had I worked elsewhere, and for that I
am very grateful. All I ever wanted to do was make a positive
difference; by getting the chance to work with many of you, I personally
feel like I have accomplished this and so much more.

For some, as I write to let you know that today is my last day working
with you, this isn't so much "goodbye" as it is "see you later." Never
have I been in a working environment that is so tight-knit on both a
professional and personal level, and I have no doubts that I will run
into some of you again somewhere, sometime.

I wish you all the best and thank you for making CIS truly the place to
be.

Sincerely yours,
Erwin

It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
