Farewell Letters

Farewell letters are letters we write to express good wishes when parting with loved ones. A farewell letter is the best means to thank people for the time you spent together. Maybe you have accepted a new job offer, you are retiring, or going back to school. Perhaps you are moving to another country for good. The best and most convenient way to say goodbye to your friends, neighbors, and coworkers is by sending a farewell letter. While you may deliver the news face-to-face, sending a farewell letter makes sure that everyone knows the news. It is the perfect place to share contact information so that people can still keep in touch with you.

Great farewell letters are brief and precise. Clearly state the reason why you are writing the letter. Begin by confirming your departure and depending on the circumstance, explain how you feel about making this difficult decision. Say thanks for the time spent with the recipient, his/her friendship, love, support, etc. Mention some of the good times and memories you have shared. Wish the recipient the best in his/her future. End with a positive or humorous note making a clear invitation to continued communication.

Letters to Teachers

Letters to teachers are, simply, the letters you send to your teachers or any other person whose job is to help you acquire knowledge. There are many occasions when you may find it necessary to write to your teachers. May be you want to see how they are doing over summer break, you want to apologize for bad behavior, or you just want to appreciate them for being the best. Whatever the occasion, writing a letter can allow you to express yourself in a personal and sincere way. Depending on the content, you can follow the basic letter format or a format specific to appreciation and apology letters.

Before writing letters to teachers, it is important to write a draft so that you are able to organize your thoughts. Start your letter with the right salutation and mention the name of your teacher. Write an introductory sentence that states the purpose of your letter. Convey your message clearly and directly. Stay on topic and avoid bringing in irrelevant stories. Use an honest, sincere, and respectful tone. Wrap things up by wishing your teacher well. Reread the letter to catch any grammar and spelling mistakes.
