“Subject: Moving On

Dear Jennifer,

I’m writing to inform you that I have resigned from my position at Sidenote Translation. I will be available until the end of the day on April 23, 2021, and after that, my new colleague Verna Petersburg will be taking over your account. Verna has over 15 years of experience as a translator and is a capable client relations manager, so I’m confident she’ll be able to provide you with high-quality service. You can get in touch with Verna at vpetersburg@email.com or by calling 123-456-7890.

I’ve genuinely appreciated collaborating with you over the past five years, adapting to your content as it increased in complexity and expanding our team as your company scaled to ensure we could meet your production needs. I’ve been lucky to learn so much from working with you.

I have accepted a senior client relations manager position in the arts and entertainment industry in Seattle, Washington. As you know, my brother lives in Seattle, so in addition to advancing my career, this new position will give me the opportunity to visit my family more often, which I’m looking forward to.

If you have any questions about the transition process, please feel free to get in touch.

All the best,

Glenn Fischer

Dear Ms. Lee,

I am writing to inform you of my resignation from WES Financial. This, of course, means I will no longer be working with your account. I will be leaving WES Financial at the end of this month, so my final day will be December 31, 2021.

I want to assure you that your account will not suffer at all, as all of my clients are being transferred to my esteemed colleague Michael Smith. He has worked at WES for over 20 years, and I am extremely confident that you will get along well. He will continue to maintain your portfolio as I have unless you want to diversify more in the future.

If you have any questions concerning my resignation, please do not hesitate to email me until the 31st. After that, Michael will be happy to schedule a meeting for you to get acclimated to the change.

Thank you so much for your understanding in this matter. It has been a pleasure working for you and I wish you all the best in your endeavors. Rest assured that your funds are in good hands.
