Last Day Email at Office

LAST DAY EMAIL

Finally, you have resigned and getting relieved soon!

As a gesture of good team work and professional ethics, an Email is sent out on the last day of work at the office, to your colleagues, team members and all the people whom you have worked with.

Underlying Purpose of the Email

The purpose of the last day email, is to thank everyone for supporting you through the journey in the company. Every person who works in an organization undoubtedly gets a lot of support both socially and professionally. To express the gratitude to all the people who have helped you in the time of need, these people do deserve a small “thank you” note from you.

When do you send it out

Send out the email, when all your relieving formalities are about to complete and your Email is still not deactivated. All your “no dues”, approvals, paperwork should be over. When you send out this email, you would be getting calls, emails and also people will approach you personally to greet you. You should allocate time for all this. So, plan your timing well. You may also want to go out for a short get together.
