What to write in a goodbye message when leaving a job
Write a farewell message that is warm, genuine, and leaves the right impression. Fill in your details below, copy the prompt, and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
Goodbye messages when leaving a job can easily become either too corporate and generic: "I've had an amazing journey here," or so long that most people don't read them in full. Both miss the chance to say something that people will actually remember.
A farewell message that works is short, specific, and human. It mentions one real thing about the team or culture, thanks specific people by name, shares genuinely where you're headed, and makes it easy for people to stay in touch. Done in under 200 words.
Add your role, company, how long you've been there, what you'll miss, what you're moving on to, and who you want to thank. The AI gives you a warm, genuine goodbye that leaves the right impression.

Tips for writing this

- 3Include your personal contact details if you want to stay in touch. Make it easy for people to reach you.
Common questions
Should I send individual goodbye messages to close colleagues?+
Yes, in addition to the group email. A personal message to the five people you worked most closely with means far more than an all-company note. It takes ten minutes and leaves a lasting impression.
How do I use this prompt?+
Fill in your details using the form above. The placeholders in the prompt update live as you type. When you are ready, click “Copy prompt” and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI tool. The AI will write something personalized to your specific situation.
Which AI tool works best for this?+
Claude and ChatGPT both work well. Claude tends to produce more natural, nuanced writing for personal situations. ChatGPT is strong for structured business and professional writing. Try both and keep the version that sounds more like you.
Should I use the AI output word for word?+
Use it as a strong first draft, then edit it to sound like you. The AI gives you the structure and language to work from. Reading it out loud is one of the best ways to catch anything that does not feel natural in your voice.
