What to write in a farewell card
Lines for a colleague moving to a new job, a friend leaving town, or a relative heading abroad. Pick the register that fits: a short word, a formal message from the whole team, or something warm for family. Copy any phrase as it is, or start a card with it already written and add the names.
Short
Safe travels - and see you soon, God willing.
Farewell - our prayers go with you.
Time apart is short - the friendship lasts.
A new chapter that suits you.
We will miss you more than you know.
A temporary goodbye, a lasting friendship.
Formal - for colleagues and companies
As you move on to your new role, please accept my sincere thanks for your effort and cooperation, with every wish for success in what comes next.
Working with you has been a rich experience we learned a great deal from. We send you off with real appreciation, confident that your career will only keep rising.
On behalf of the whole team, thank you for years of dedication and good company. May your next post bring you everything you hope for.
It is hard to say goodbye to someone of your caliber, but our joy at what awaits you is greater. Every success, wherever you land.
As you move to a new city, we want you to know how much we valued having you here and the good you leave behind. Our doors are always open to you.
Your leaving is our loss and a gain for whoever works with you next. We value everything you gave here, and wish you ever more progress and success.
For family and friends
This will always be your home, and your room stays just as you left it. Go with an easy heart - we will be here waiting.
Distance changes nothing between us. You will be in our prayers morning and night, and we will be listening for your voice on every occasion.
Dearest, the first days away are the hardest, then the heart settles. Call whenever you miss us - we are right here.
Your leaving is joy and sadness at once - joy that you are growing, sadness that one chair at the table will be empty.
You take a piece of our hearts with you and leave us memories that will never fade. May God keep you safe and bring you back to us.
The further you go, the more we will miss you. Keep in touch, and keep us in your prayers.
For WhatsApp
God bless the new chapter - and keep the news coming.
Your last day with us, and the whole group is saying it together: safe travels, and come back to us.
The desk next to mine is going to look very empty from tomorrow. Good luck in the new job.
Next coffee's on you, in the new city - deal? All the best.
The team won't be complete without you, but we're honestly happy for you. Wishing you every success.
Your place here stays yours, and the group won’t be the same without you. Missing you already.
