They usually start the same way: You may or may not know that this is my last day at the company. The ubiquitous "so long, farewell" e-mail sent to everyone by everyone. It's hard not to be trite, because there really is no other way to say it: it's been a real pleasure working with you.

This site is a collection of those letters, the good, the bad, the humble and the truly original.

Say it like you mean it.

To submit a goodbye e-mail, whether one you sent or one you received, please forward to:

ibarpwwy@gmail.com
